Summary of Barry M. Prizant's Uniquely Human

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The first thing I noticed about Jesse was the fear and anxiety in his eyes. He was a boy with severe social anxiety, sensitivity to touch, and difficulty processing language. He also had a seizure disorder that was detected when he was a toddler.

#2 The traditional approach to diagnosing autism is to look for a combination of deficits, such as difficulty communicating, trouble developing relationships, and a restricted repertoire of interests and behaviors. But this approach treats the person as a problem to be solved rather than an individual to be understood.

#3 The main cause of emotional dysregulation in people with autism is their neurology. They are more vulnerable to emotional and physical challenges than others, and they have fewer innate coping strategies.

#4 It is important to consider all available clues and work to determine what is underlying or triggering a particular reaction. What is making the child dysregulated. Is it internal or external. Is it visible. Is it in the sensory realm.
