Publisher's Synopsis
News coverage, discussions and the diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder have all increased in the past decade. Attitudes and views have not changed much despite this increase in awareness. The Perception Divide: Me, You and Autism explores the reality of this disparity and its impact not only on autistic people, but those around them. Through themes including, sensory issues, relationships and employment and welfare, questions are raised about the perception of the autism label, how autistic people perceive themselves and others and the impact of this. Perception is the heart of this book and a lens that is not often used to explore the reality of autism. Through a knowledgeable, but personal style, the author will lead and challenge you through your exploration of the perceptions of autism.
