Overview"A successful life with autism is being wholly autistic, while also living a full rewarding life in a world not set up for autism. This book answers the ""why"" behind autism; helping autism make sense. This book also provides autism-based solutions for autism based problems. It bridges the gap between the autistic and non-autistic worlds. Paul Meier's approach to autism is less that of a therapist but more that of an engineer. Understanding how autism works provides the tools neccessary to construct a successful real-world life for those on the autism spectrum. Paul Meier founded and runs CNY Autism Consulting. Paul is also on the autism spectrum, providing a unuque perspective of personal experience."
