Many young people know someone with autism or are personally living with autism spectrum disorder, and they can benefit in important ways from this comprehensive look at life with autism. Presented alongside sidebars, diagrams, graphic organizers, and full-color photographs, the educational and empathetic narrative encourages readers to understand the challenges those with autism face while also looking to the future with hope.
