This book explores what it is like to be an autistic child, through
interviews with T, a 'psychologically unusual' thirteen-year-old.
In this detailed case study, Vuletic and Ferrari combine an
autobiographical account with a parental perspective, while
simultaneously integrating psychiatric and psychological research
on autism. The authors evaluate the merits and pitfalls of
different interpretations of autism and address the broad
psychological issues related to autism - intelligence;
autobiographical memory; transitional period from childhood to
adolescence; school and peer-based social skills training. The
study includes results and interpretations of standard measures of
self-concept, an IQ test and a psychiatric exam, contributing to
the hitherto under-researched area of autistic self-knowledge. This
book juxtaposes scientific and personal perspectives, shedding new
light on the buzzword 'normal', where unusual is synonymous with
autistic.
