Autism: Respecting Difference is a concise, straightforward
introduction to the sensory and emotional experiences of autism,
designed to help support staff, professionals, and families better
understand and engage with autistic people in order to offer
meaningful and effective support. It is difficult to know how other
people feel, since we all assume we see, hear, and generally
experience the world in the same way. For autistic people, the
world they experience can be very different to ours. Autism:
Respecting Difference is designed to help people who are new to
autism understand how it might feel to be autistic, and how over-
and under-sensitivities to incoming signals can overload the
autistic brain, triggering anxiety and pain. Illustrated by artist
Jodie Zutt, the book takes readers on a journey into the
'brainworld of autism' in order to better understand and support
those who live each day with the challenges of this condition.
Adopting a Responsive Communication approach, it explores how to
reduce sensory overload while simultaneously establishing emotional
engagement and interaction via use of an individual's body language
and themes that have particular meaning for them.
