Description
An essential guide to understanding autism - for autistic people and their families, friends and workmates.
When Chanelle Moriah was diagnosed with autism at 21, life finally began to make sense.
Hungry for information, Chanelle looked for a simple resource that could explain what autism is and how it can impact different areas of an autistic persons life, but found that there was little written from the perspective of someone who is autistic.
So Chanelle decided to create that missing resource.
Chanelle discovered just how difficult it can be for autistic adults - particularly females or that assigned female at birth - to be diagnosed or even be assessed for autism. This is partly because there is very little understanding of the different wats autism can present itself.
I Am Autistic is a tool for both diagnosed and undiagnosed autistics to explain or make sense of their experiences. it also offers non autistic people the chance to learn more about autism from someone who is autistic.
With clear sections describing the many aspects of autism, accompanied by Chanelle's beautiful illustrations, an with space for readers to write down their thoughts, this book is designed to be personalised to the individuals experience.
