The children's work covers topics that are of primary importance
in understanding some of the common experiences that children
with autism, and their families, go through. These include life
before diagnosis, friendships, relationships, feelings, bullying
and the future. A key characteristic of having autism is the
inability to express emotions; but too often that prevents
children with autism from being listened to. This book gives them
both a voice and a forum for creative expression and provides
direct insight into what having autism means for the children
themselves and how they feel about their experiences.
