Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book is a composition of powerful, poignant and perceptive
poems that depict life on the autism spectrum. Written by a young
person with High Functioning Autism, the poems reflect on her
school and college years, capturing sadness at being marginalised
as well as appreciation for the people who supported her. The poems
provide important insights on the difficulties that people on the
autism spectrum face, including deep anxiety and developing social
relationships. Although 1 in 100 people have this condition, as it
affects everyone differently, it is often misunderstood and
ignored. Lauren's book adds to the calls for perception of autism
to be widened, encouraging a positive and informed attitude towards
those with this complex condition. Author Bio: Lauren lives in
North Somerset and has a diagnosis of High Functioning Autism. She
recently completed a degree in Special Education and founded an
autism company supporting young people on the spectrum, their
parents, and professionals. In her spare time, I enjoy baking,
travelling, and going hiking. As a young person with autism, Lauren
has faced misunderstandings and adversity, particularly during
mainstream education. Writing poetry was a strategy she used to
channel her anxieties and frustrations as well as to communicate
her gratitude towards those who supported her. Writing helped to
build Lauren's confidence and resilience and enabled her to find
her voice.
