Table of contents:
Challenging the stereotypes that surround the condition that is called autism , this book goes beyond the outsider's view of the symptoms by presenting the many different faces of autism and autism-related conditions from the insider's perspective. Based on her own experiences of autism, the author looks at the misinterpretations and assumptions that have grown up around the condition, and offers her own experience of the daily problems and frustrations that the autistic person faces, and an overview of the current techniques, therapies and treatments for autism. She illustrates what autism means in her life, and shows how the experience of having to learn in different ways to others is a positive experience that opens up new ways of thinking.
