 Autism manifests in an incredible diversity of characteristics,
including but by no means limited to communication issues,
repetitive behaviour, and lack of eye contact. In this important book,
two experienced physicians go behind the diagnostic labels and the
consultation room to a holistic approach for autism.
For each unique child, they ask how behaviour differs in different
places or with different people, and why; they explore the influences
of different types of food; and they ask what sensory needs lie
behind particular behaviour. Their approach encompasses not only
medical but, primarily, social, pedagogical and environmental
considerations, and its from this starting point that they endeavour
to build a community of support for a child.
This approach challenges family members and professional
caregivers to step out of their silos and work together in dynamic,
therapeutic communities. Autism: Meet Me Who I Am tells the
story of this journey of co-working, drawing inspiration from the
children themselves.
