Diagnosed as "severe-to-mild" on the autism spectrum, I was placed in special education and told I would need long-term support. But I refused to accept those limitations. In this powerful and personal book, I share how I began transitioning into general education classes in less than two years--and no longer needed many special education services. Through intensive ABA therapy, I made remarkable progress--eventually being discharged because I no longer met the criteria for services. But that was just the beginning. I changed my diet, discovered a love for physical activity through Cross Country Running, Surfing, Taekwondo, Skateboarding, Bicycling, and Hiking, and used tools like IXL to dramatically improve my academic performance. This book is more than my story--it's a blueprint. I offer practical tips and motivation for anyone on the autism spectrum (or supporting someone who is) to grow, thrive, and reach their potential. Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone on the journey yourself, Curing Autism offers a message of hope, action, and the power of belief.
