Did you hear the severe autism alert sirens wailing? Did that storm luckily miss you and yours? Not us. Our family took a direct hit. I Might Be...You is a fresh look at the damage and emerging sun as told by an adult with autism who is "disguised as a poor thinker" but has much to say yet does not speak and a therapist who helps rebuild. With experience, wit, warmth, and wisdom these two collaborate to rethink roles, expectations, treatment strategies, education, meaning and the healing truth about connection.
It is a must read for overwhelmed parents, teachers and practitioners needing inspiration, and those with ASD seeking purpose as hope is found. As you enjoy this highly entertaining, thought provoking, and deeply emotional account of life with autism, we invite you to discover who you might be and the unique contributions that may be yours to make. After all, "without you, I would not be me." (Native American Proverb)
