About this product

Product Information

Wendy Lawson has an autism spectrum disorder. Considered to be intellectually disabled and almost incapable of doing as she is told at school, she was later misdiagnosed as schizophrenic - a label that stuck with her for more than 25 years. Her sense of self was then non-existent, but Wendy is now a mother of four with two university degrees; she is a social worker and adult educator, and operates her own business. She is also a poet and writer, sharing her understanding of autism with others to help build a bridge ...from my world to theirs . This book is part of that bridge.
