Description

In this book I have preferred to use what is known as first person narration.
Instead of words such as “autistic person” or “autism”, in which autism is introduced as a characteristic of the person, I have used expressions such as “person with autism disorder” or “person with autism”. Although these phrases seem appropriate to me, they are not ideal from different points of view.
Dr. Prizant’s respect for his work with individuals with autism and their families is evident on every page of this valuable book, enabling him to tell the story of autism in a deeply personal way that is both inspiring and informative.
These fun, real examples throughout the book both shed light on the experience of autism from the inside out and show that it is unwise to look at behaviors without regard to the motivation behind them. .
Many people have introduced this book as a different and influential work. Dr. Prizant is a clinical science expert who has written his experiences in this book in an intimate and attractive way.
In this book, he has moved us away from a traditional and fixed mentality of autism and leads us to a comprehensive view that includes exploring the world of this spectrum and meeting the needs of people. Reading this book is highly recommended for professionals, parents and researchers.

All proceeds from the sale of this book will be used to educate children with autism.
