Author of Could It Be Autism? A Parent's Guide to the First Signs and Next Steps

Voices from the Spectrum is a compelling collection of personal accounts from people on the autism spectrum and those who care for them, including professionals, friends and family members. The essays in this collection tell of both the positive and negative effects of autism on individuals and families, and pose the question: is a diagnosis on the autism spectrum a puzzle to be solved, or something to be embraced and accepted?

The broad scope of this book presents insights into the autism spectrum from many different perspectives - from first-hand accounts of the autistic child's school and childhood experiences to parents' and grandparents' reactions to a diagnosis. A number of chapters written by professionals explain their motivations for working with autistic people and reveal what they have learned from their work and how it has affected their lives. The contributors describe experiences of autism from the mildest to the most severe case, and share their methods of adapting to life on the spectrum.

Voices from the Spectrum will appeal to a wide readership of adults and younger people on the autism spectrum, their families and friends, as well as practitioners.

Industry Reviews
This book is a unique collection of essays sharing personal experiences of the autistic spectrum. The range of authors and the people and topics that they write about is diverse and allows us an insight in to the roller coaster of challenges, triumphs and personal development that is faced by all who are involved with children and adults across the spectrum... I would recommend this book particularly to parents of newly diagnosed children or professionals new to working with the autistic spectrum as it gives a straightforward and rounded look at autism, gently introducing the wide and unpredictable spectrum at a time when parents may have little understanding of what the autism label may mean and when developmental paediatricians and other professionals may be unwilling or unable to offer prognosis for the future... this book offers a very easy-to-read, accessible text. It provides honest and heart-felt accounts of the discovery, trials, tribulations, acceptance, development, personal growth and joys of parenting and working with a child on the autistic spectrum. The format of the book allows you to dip in and out at your own pace and to take from it what you need at that time.
