<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The first of its kind, it 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!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book draws you in like no other. It is poignant, joyous, informative, and authentic, all at the same time. It is a must read for all pre-service and in-service teachers working with neurodiverse students. The historical evolution of autism described in this book will be an eye opener for many. The voices of the lost generation of older autistic adults is extremely moving. It is powerful story telling at its best! Perhaps the most unique aspect of this book is the way stories and facts are woven together with global survey data from older autistic individuals to create an international tapestry of lives and experiences that is hard to forget." </p><p>-Manju Banerjee, Ph.D.</strong>, Vice President of Educational Research and Innovation, Associate Professor, School of Educational Research and Innovation, Landmark College</p><p> </p><p>"Older autistics, their stories dormant and buried in layers of history, are woken to now take centre stage.
