About this product

Product Information

Written by a British autistic teenager. Suitable for all ages. Relatable to men & women on the spectrum with a later diagnosis of ASD or diagnosed with Asperger's. Callum gives 'what helps me' tips at the end of each chapter. Includes pages to make your own notes. Sensational! As someone who is on the Spectrum, I am usually weary when it comes to buying books about Autism, as I've found some to be less than helpful. Where should I start with Callum Knight's The Secrets of My Spectrum ...? Absolutely FANTASTIC! I couldn't put the book down & finished in within an evening (not like me). The book is broken down into easy to read & short chapters, making it great to refer to when needed. While reading, I kept thinking to myself 'This is me. I had this experience.' Brilliantly written! I have since shared this with friends & colleagues. I CAN'T WAIT for Callum's next book! What a star!: ) Amazon UK reviewer The essential need to knows in one handy book! I think if I had been given this book as a teenager, I'd have discovered I am autistic a lot sooner and potentially saved a lot of stress and unhappiness. Having read it now as a recently diagnosed adult, I feel more acceptance of myself. I relate strongly to so much that is written and that is a good feeling. Amazon UK reviewer Autism is a spectrum, and no two people experience their ASD in the same way, but we share the need to feel understood and valued for the gifts we have. Part memoir and part guidebook to gaining a deeper understanding of the difficulties those with autism experience, The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind glimpse inside the world of Autism Spectrum Disorder-from a sixteen-year-old who lives with it. For years, Callum struggled to navigate the world he lived in and meet social expectations before being diagnosed with autism at age thirteen. Wishing others understood autism from his perspective, the teen shares his insights, perceptions, reactions, and experiences living with autism, from the triggers that lead to anxiety and shutdowns to tips for coping with stressful situations such as travelling, socialising, and communicating. With honesty and forthrightness, The Secrets of My Spectrum explores the challenges-and the great gifts-that come with living on the spectrum.
