ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Uniquely Human: A Different Way of Seeing Autism by Barry M. Prizant invites readers to reconsider their understanding of autism. The book delves into the world of individuals on the spectrum, moving away from a focus on deficits to explore the motivations behind their behaviors. Through compelling personal stories and professional insights, Prizant illustrates how seemingly unusual actions can be coping mechanisms, communication attempts, or responses to an overwhelming world. The narrative emphasizes the crucial role of listening, empathy, and building trust to support individuals with autism in leading more fulfilling and understood lives. It explores themes of sensory experiences, emotional regulation, social understanding, and the power of individual enthusiasms.
