This anthology of inspiring autobiographical journeys about living on the autism spectrum reveals eight remarkable success stories of academic achievements. There's a common myth that having autism implies severe disability, failure or worse institutionalization. This book challenges these notions for families with a child higher on the spectrum. The contributors' insights are evident of bright and successful individuals (some already with a bestselling book) refusing to let a diagnosis identify them. They're examples of strength and triumph any of us would be proud to call our own.
