Autism and Physical Disability: Dual Experiences, Challenges, and Inclusion Solutions

What does it mean to live at the intersection of autism, physical disability, trauma, and resilience?

In Autism and Physical Disability, Wenn B. Lawson shares a deeply personal account of late-diagnosed autism shaped by decades of misdiagnosis, physical and emotional pain, and a lifetime of mistrust born from trauma. Animals, birds, and the natural world become sources of solace, offering a pathway back to meaning and connection. This narrative blends lived experience with research, opening a rare window into the life of an older, trans, disabled autistic person who chose self-acceptance, love, and hope over despair. It challenges readers to confront the overlooked struggles of autistic people while providing a roadmap of resilience, healing, and reconciliation.

Autism and Physical Disability is a story of survival and transformation, but also a call to reimagine how society understands, supports, and values neurodivergent and disabled lives.

Ideal for students, researchers, practitioners, and educators in psychology, social work, special education, occupational therapy, mental health, and medical training.
