This is a positive description of how it feels to be autistic and
how friends, family and the professionals that work with autistic
prople can be more sensitive to their needs. The author, herself
autistic, perceives the creativity, imagination and keenly-felt
sensory world of the autistic person, as gifts. She argues that
"normalizing" autistic people - pushing them into behaving in a way
that is alien to their true natures - is not just ineffective, but
wrong. She challenges the reader to accept their differences and
celebrate their uniqueness.;This work is intended for anyone who is
interested in learning more about autism, including familes and
friends of autistic people, and doctors, therapists and other
professionals who work with them. It should also prove a source of
inspiration to autistic people themselves.
