Part memoir and part guidebook to gaining a deeper understanding, The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind insight into the Autism Spectrum -written by a sixteen-year-old. For years, Callum struggled to navigate the world he lived in and meet social expectations before being told he was autistic at age thirteen. Wishing others understood more about the challenges of being on the spectrum, the teen shares his insights, perceptions, reactions, and experiences, from the triggers that lead to anxiety and shutdowns to tips for coping with stressful situations such as travelling, socialising, and communicating. With honesty and forthrightness, The Secrets of My Spectrum explores the challenges and the great gifts that come with living on the spectrum. The book is suitable for all ages & genders. The print books contain pages for personal notes which can be useful to record information to help in autism assessments and when filling out DLA or PIP forms.
