Autistic adults and professionals will be able to explore the many dimensions of autism, including aspects that are based on clinical experience that have yet to be examined by research. I am in awe of the author’s depth of knowledge, perspective, and analysis. As a clinician and parent of an autistic adult, I will be consulting her insight and wisdom.
