This book and series are for you if you care about someone on the autism spectrum or want to know more. The series addresses the topic through the lenses of a parent, teacher, advocate, and organisational leadership in an easy-to-read style.
This book is a journey down memory lane, aiming to share one family's lived autism experience, the challenges they've faced so far, and some coping mechanisms. It also shares some effective professional strategies from the author's many years of training and experience as a Special Educational Needs and mainstream teacher, autism researcher, founder of an international autism charity, disability advocate and a senior leader in autism specialist settings in UK and Ghana. There is an understanding of the implications of autism across different ages, cultural backgrounds, and contexts, with reference to adaption of strategies for the best results.
The purpose of this book is to encourage, motivate and strengthen others to manage challenging circumstances and life in general during their own journeys.
Each chapter is a blend of facts, real life experiences, strategies which have worked well and a reminder of light at the end of the tunnel. The book provides a joint perspective of challenges and celebrations, and the later part rounds it up with some lovely memories and anecdotes to put a smile on your face.
Living with autism is challenging but can also be a beautiful and surreal experience if you choose to live it on your terms.
