Every year, one out of every 100 children in the United States―or six out of every 1,000 young people worldwide―is diagnosed with autism. Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a neurologically based family of developmental disorders that can impact people’s communication and social skills. ASD includes both autism and Asperger syndrome. Cutting-edge research and scientific studies are probing into the genetic foundation of ASD. Quoting researcher Stephen Scherer about a recent study, USA TODAY, the Nation’s No. 1 Newspaper, notes that, “most individuals with autism are probably genetically quite unique.” In this book, you’ll find out what it’s like to have ASD through reading case studies of people living with the condition. You’ll also learn about the impact of the disorders on families. In addition, you’ll receive solid information about symptoms, treatment, and research and get the facts you need about how you, your friends, and your family can cope effectively with ASD.

This can also ring true for students who have not been diagnosed as being on the spectrum, but demonstrate many of the traits/characteristics associated with being on the spectrum, such as sensory integration and sensory regulation difficulties. Michelle has done a wonderful job sharing the story of what a child or individual with ASD’s experience may look like as they move through and interact within the world.
