In this empowering book, authors with autism share how they overcame obstacles to enjoy life to the full, via transformative moments, newfound passions and downright determination. The inspiring message is that in spite of challenges and hardships, autism can accompany, or even galvanize, life's best bits.|bIn this rich and diverse collection, 28 writers describe what positive experiences they have had as an autistic person, and show how the most unexpected subject areas can be a source of the positive. They demonstrate that individuals can, and do, experience life in positive ways, sometimes in the face of adversity. Sharing both dark and joyful moments with unreserved honesty, their insights are moving, often hilarious, creative, and highly intelligent, and usually surprising. From hair-raising traveling experiences to parenting with verve, volunteering to teaching, running a marathon to taking on a PhD, they show that autism need not limit life. Introduced by Luke Beardon and Dean Worton, their stories challenge stereotypes surrounding autism, empower, and entertain. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Asperger's syndrome|xPatients|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2012100001|vPersonal narratives. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001714 650 0 Autistic people|xRehabilitation.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009116385 650 0 Autistic people|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009116056 650 0 Autistic people|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2009007849|vLife skills guides.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99001632 650 0 Success.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85129587 650 7 Asperger's syndrome|xPatients.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1424574 650 7 Autistic people|xRehabilitation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1758838 650 7 Autistic people.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1756661 650 7 Success.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1137041 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Personal narratives.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423843 655 7 Life skills guides.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423810 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 Personal narratives.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026142 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Beardon, Luke,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2008011149|eeditor. 700 1 Worton, Dean,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2006095632|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9781785922077 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1444227|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
