Older Autistic Adults
In Their Own Words: The Lost Generation
About this book
The first of its kind, Older Autistic Adults is the result of the authors' original research, which examines the data retrieved from a survey given to 150 older autistic adults worldwide. The insight into the lives and experiences of these individuals from a time before support groups, school-based interventions, and even the autism diagnosis is important and fascinating. Combined with a brief history of autism, an overview of The Nine Degrees of Autism by Wylie, Lawson, Beardon, in relation to older autistic adults, and personal stories from the survey's participants, this book is a must-read!
