The Secrets of My Spectrum
"Part memoir and part guidebook to gaining a deeper understanding of the difficulties those with autism experience, The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind glimpse inside the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder-from a sixteen-year-old who lives with it. For years, Callum struggled to navigate the world he lived in and meet social expectations before being diagnosed with autism at age thirteen. Wishing others understood autism from his perspective, the teen shares his insights, perceptions, reactions, and experiences living with autism, from the triggers that lead to anxiety and shutdowns to tips for coping with stressful situations such as travelling, socialising, and communicating. With honesty and forthrightness, The Secrets of My Spectrum explores the challenges and the great gifts that come with living on the spectrum. ""Autism is a spectrum, and no two people experience their ASD in the same way, but we share the need to feel understood and valued for the gifts we have.""
