"In this groundbreaking debut, Eric Garcia draws from his own experiences as an autistic journalist to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those who are LGBTQ. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been a standard for far too long" --Page [4] of cover. |
