Bookroo's summary

An introduction to autism spectrum disorder for young readers: how common it is, how autistic people process information and experience the world differently, how it is diagnosed, and the support that helps at school, at home and with friends.

From the publisher

You probably know someone with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) because it is relatively common. In the United States, one in 68 children has been identified with ASD, more commonly known as autism. That is equal to one person with autism for every two classrooms of students in a school. Autism explains that the disorder has a serious impact on the lives of those who are affected by it. It reveals that people with autism process information differently from most people, experience the world and people around them differently, and often struggle with sensory difficulties and social interaction.The book provides detailed scientific information about the disorder, from what causes it to symptoms, treatments, and cutting-edge research. It also explores what life is like day-to-day for people who live with autism and the coping strategies that help them. This insightful title will provide readers with a thorough understanding of autism and help them develop a sensitivity toward those who experience it. It is also a source of invaluable information for people living with autism.
