Understanding autism begins with listening.
On the Spectrum: A Journey Through Autism is a powerful, panoramic exploration of autism across the lifespan. From the early signs of childhood to the complexities of adult identity, this book weaves together clinical insights, real-life stories, and cutting-edge research to illuminate the full spectrum of the autistic experience.
Spanning thirty-two in-depth chapters, this work confronts the myths, celebrates the strengths, and challenges the systems that often overlook or marginalize autistic individuals. You'll journey through critical discussions on genetics, sensory perception, masking, gender disparities, media portrayals, aging, and global perspectives, -culminating in a hopeful look toward the future of inclusive science and policy.
Whether you're a parent, educator, clinician, or someone seeking to better understand themselves or others, this book offers clarity, compassion, and a call to action. It's more than just a guide-it's a tribute to neurodiversity and a testament to the voices that need to be heard.
Because every spectrum has its light.
