| Summary |
"Autism doesn't have one simple definition. It covers a spectrum of symptoms, which is why many people now call it autism spectrum disorder, and it affects people in many different ways. Many young people know someone with autism or are personally living with autism spectrum disorder, and they can benefit in important ways from this clear and comprehensive look at life with autism. Presented alongside sidebars, diagrams, graphic organizers, and full-color photographs, the educational and empathetic main text encourages readers to understand the challenges those with autism face while also looking to the future with hope"-- Provided by publisher. |
