520    Autism doesn't have to hold you back. 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.
