The Child I Was: Asperger's Trilogy Vol 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798596489934)

This book is about my childhood as a child with a little-known disability, but not about what the textbooks say about the syndrome, but about how I lived it. All children with the condition are different and they manifest the asperger in different ways, but because it is not easy to hear a child with autism or asperger's syndrome talk about what he feels and thinks as a direct or indirect effect of his condition or bullying, reading this book can help you understand what it is like for a child to live with asperger's or be a victim of bullying. This has been expressed to me by people who have read me in more than fifteen countries in Europe, America and Oceania, saying that reading my writings helps them to better understand their children or students, or even themselves in cases where the person reading me has the condition.The book is recommended for parents of children with autism, so that they know what their children may be feeling, even if they cannot express it; for elementary and secondary school teachers, so that they have an illustrated idea of the warning signs that could help them guide parents in referring children for evaluation for early screening or diagnosis, and for pediatricians, psychologists, psychiatrists, and therapists who want to have an additional idea to what the theory says.In fact, the book you have in your hands, is not a theoretical book, nor is it based on research, nor scientific studies; here I tell you my testimonies and experiences as a child who being within the autistic spectrum had to suffer and how I had to become strong to survive and learn without any of the tools and support that thank God our children have today.It is precisely so that all children with this condition have the right support and tools, that I want there to be at least one book like this in every school and in every family in the world, to create awareness and build bridges from what you know today to what will be revealed to you after reading this book.
