If you haven’t had a chance to read it yet, I highly recommend Eric Garcia’s new Book, We’re Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation. As the title suggests, it is devoted to changing the conversation about autism by debunking myths and describing lived experience. Very well researched and written, by a professional (autistic) journalist.
That said, this is kind of bad news for me. I’ve spent the last 8 years writing a book about autism and human rights in the U.S., and Garcia has really scooped me. I’m not giving up on my book–it does some things his doesn’t. But I had hoped to be the first on the market with many of the points he makes. Oh well. His book is great and deserves to make a big impact.
I hope your book is a success in the end! Thanks for sharing!
Feel free to read some of my blogs 🙂
Always room for another book. As a female, your perspective would be different than what a male might write. Not only do we all have differences on the spectrum, but we must contend with other unique problems (pregnancy, etc.). I look forward to reading your book. Please let us know when available!
