Professor Hale has produced a groundbreaking and timely book that I recommend. It fills a vital gap inexisting knowledge and allows us to use information sensitively andintelligently research, understand, and apply it for ourselves. It will be of general interest as it contains science-based advice on genetics, allergies, general.health and some of the ways in which humans may have 'differently wired' brains.
It is enlighteningand written from a new sympathetic and humanistic perspective. Ian is an author and expert medical scientist who is on the spectrum and writes as a medical scientist. Therefore, it is in an ideal position to contribute insights on this topic. For example, the bookoffers an informative overview of current scientific research, as well asits own unique insider's perspective experience.
For example, "Autism isfor life, a fact that is rarely taken into account by social institutions, including senior care. No one "grows" out of Autism; This is not a "phase". It informs us about the 'mild', 'moderate', 'severe' and 'deep' conditions that may be involved. Dyslexia; Dyscalculia; Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD); Attention Deficit HyperactiveDisorder (ADHD); Asperger's Syndrome, (AS); Pervasive Developmental Disorders-NotOtherwise Specified (PDD-NOS); Williams Syndrome; Hyperlexia; Dyspraxia; High FunctioningAutism; Crohn's Disease, and more.
It has been said that it is vitally important to recognize that "autists" are individuals first, andpatients who have the second form or forms of autism. Describes possiblequalities; varieties of symptomatic presentation; the needfor their understanding of absolutely different and measurable ways of behaving; the stresses they may experience andthe importance of love and acceptance. Agree, my own research confirms that equityopportunity is defined as skilled support funded for improvement for society with all benefits.
Ian doesn't pull a punch in his critical commentary on autistic historical and contemporary abusePeople have suffered and are still suffering. It has been disorganized, ignorant, perhapsthe well-intentioned intentions of those who legislated and enforced the Law, but this book gives us anew range of factual insights. It will inform and empower professionals, authorities, parents, caregivers, and autists to speak up, and resist discrimination and harassment by those whoare condescending or violently abusive.
It will also provide them with the information they need to stay afloat. Informingthose who apply inappropriate treatment and the kind that shows professional ignorance. It's a thoughtful book and an act of self-acceptance that I admire. I've beenimpressed by Ian's authenticity, integrity, proud ownership, and empathy for writing insightfullyabout himself and others across the spectrum. He has created a book full of practical advice that autists, parents, caregivers, therapists, teachers, paramedics and even the public will find extremely useful.
It isa groundbreaking book that fills a gap in the market.- Dr. Jennifer A Hawkins, (PhD) Author- "Emotions and Emotion-Based Learning: A New Theory" (2017) PalgraveMacmillan and "Brain Plasticity and Learning: Implications for Educational Practice"(2021) Palgrave Macmillan
