The term Spectrum-Autist is how I describe one, who is diagnosed with Autism-Spectrum Disorder. Since, I do not think of Autism as a "disorder, I prefer "Spectrum-Autist."

At first meeting me, there are not obvious signs and people often assume that I am...

When people mention autism, they often mean children or young adults and the programs that support them. However, one does not suddenly grow out of being autistic-ASD, ADD, and ADHD. We just grow better at avoiding our trigger areas and developing covering skills. In this compelling book, the author, Diane Fobes, starts with a very open biography explaining her undiagnosed life and how she escaped her diagnosis until she was sixty-five. Then she...

What killed Luke's twin, and left Luke in an autistic fugue? Luke was thrust into our world barely clinging to life, hastened in his arrival by his dying twin. The doctors scratched their heads and ventured guesses as to what had damaged them, then admitted defeat when their theories proved wrong. At the age of three, Luke was completely nonverbal, and was labeled as having autism. As the years passed, Luke's behavior spiraled out of control, until...
