Beschreibung
Develop Your Autistic Superpowers!
Finding Your Superpowers intentionally mimics and uses popular images of superheroes. The book is a quick read with a fun and approachable format for a wide age range. The author has interviewed families and experts extensively, including talking/consulting directly with adults on the spectrum and has included examples, stories from individuals and families, as well as resources and further information resources in the text.
At the end of each chapter, the reader can note their discoveries. Through their individual strengths, autistic people can experience a positive and fulfilling life. The systems that surround neurodiverse people put more emphasis on the person’s “deficits” and/or “developmental delays,” rather than affirming those differences—often feeding low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety. This book is a guide to engaging or challenging these systems, and how to nurture each person’s superpowers. It is hard, but attainable.
Every autistic person is unique in their personal sensory experience, their personal traits, and the effects of autism they experience. The aim of this book is to help you and your allies discover and nurture your personal strengths—be they sensory abilities, personality traits or interests—to help you live a fuller and more satisfying life. Discovering and nurturing a person’s superpowers can bring meaning to life, a feeling of positive self-worth and a “path” for a person to follow in contributing to their family and community life—the goal of this book.
