A REVISED AND EXPANDED EDITION

Winner of the Autism Society of America's Dr Temple Grandin Award

Autism is a different way of being human. By understanding autistic behaviours as strategies to cope with a world that feels chaotic and overwhelming, Barry Prizant seeks to enhance abilities, to teach new skills, help individuals build on their strengths and develop coping strategies to achieve a better quality of life.

Revised and updated with new material on identity and intersectionality and a chapter on autistic advocacy, Uniquely Human offers a compassionate and insightful perspective that could be life-changing. With a wealth of inspiring stories and practical advice from thousands of autistic people and their families this is a ground-breaking book by one of the world's leading experts - essential reading for anyone who cares for people on the autism spectrum.

I read this book further along my Autistic discovery journey (both for me and my child). This is exactly the kind of book I wish I read right at the start, this was the book I was looking for early on in my search for greater understanding. This is now the book I would recommend as a first port of call to anyone who would ask me for help in understanding autism.
