Autism and Me: A book for children with autism
"Many children, teenagers and grown-ups see and interact with the world from a different perspective. They are often described as quirky or eccentric. They struggle with social interaction and are often upset by change or too much noise and activity around them. But they often have strengths in many areas-with extraordinary memories, attention to detail, extensive knowledge in specific subjects, and possess exceptional skills in many areas such as technology or creative arts. Many of these individuals are on the Autistic Spectrum or have been given the diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). ASD is a different way of viewing and interacting with the world but it can cause distress for the child and their families. ASD is common with rates of 1 in 65 children, with a dramatic increase in diagnosis over the last decade, especially in females. When I started my child psychiatry training (over thirty years ago) colleagues used to laugh and say that I saw autism everywhere! Clinicia
