In a world where the conversation around autism is gaining momentum, “This is Me” emerges as a powerful voice, challenging misconceptions, stereotypes, and assumptions that surround Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). With a refreshing perspective, this book takes readers on an enlightening journey through the realm of autism, shedding light on the diversity within the spectrum.
Author MK Soanes brings a personal touch to the narrative, recounting her own experiences living with Asperger’s Syndrome, a type of high-functioning autism now referred to as level one or mild autism. Dismantling the generic stereotypes of autistic individuals excelling only in mathematics, the author delves into the multifaceted dimensions of ASD, presenting a comprehensive understanding of its various levels and behaviors.
“This is Me” challenges the outdated labels of high and low-functioning autism, introducing readers to the nuances of individual abilities, talents, and challenges that go beyond a one-size-fits-all categorization. The author’s firsthand insights serve as a guide to not just understanding autism but also managing its behaviors, all while fostering inclusivity, support, and awareness.
Part one of the book encapsulates the author’s personal journey, from early years to employment, sharing experiences of diagnosis, education, meltdowns, and barriers faced during the quest for support. Part two delves into various autistic behaviors, providing valuable insights into their meanings and offering a plethora of suggestions to support individuals on the spectrum.
In a nutshell, this compelling and touching narrative is a vital resource for parents, caregivers, educators, employers, and individuals with autism themselves. It unravels the layers of autism while empowering readers to embrace differences, challenge stereotypes, and foster a world where awareness and support pave the way for opportunities and success.
About the Author:
MK Soanes is a working administrator from the UK who grew up during a time when autism was not common knowledge. Despite an entirely new generation being born, she is the only individual in her family with the condition. She did not receive any support for the condition, so she had to figure out how to manage it on her own and make the most of her autism. To spread awareness and assist others not to experience a similar life, Soanes wrote this book as a guiding light to manage and deal with autism. Soanes includes research questions in this book that she believes should be investigated in the future for further studies and insights.
“This is Me” is available on Amazon for purchase.
