Autistics on Autism: Stories You Need to Hear About What Helped Them While Growing Up and Pursuing Their Dreams

Book Synopsis: Releasing on 3.29.22

What happens to autistic children when they become autistic adults?

While the popular image of autism is with children, Autistics on Autism, a tell-all compiled of 100 adult autistic voices, will help you understand autism from the point of view of the next generation of leaders within our autism community.

Autistics on Autism will share with you topics about autism: receiving the diagnosis, early intervention, overcoming obstacles, disclosure, acceptance, and what helped them succeed both in K-12 and college with a learning disability.

The book's editor, Dr. Kerry Magro Ed., is an award-winning professional speaker, author, autism entertainment consultant, and autistic self-advocate. Dr. Magro shares his journey from a non-speaking child to getting accepted and succeeding in college and now as a professional speaker. Dr. Magro is also the founder of KFM Making a Difference. This nonprofit organization's mission is to provide autistic individuals on the spectrum and their families support and encouragement by increasing awareness of disabled persons' abilities, encouraged through scholarships, training, and education at all levels, and finding affordable housing for them in a safe and supported environment.

More than 100 autistic students have received partial college scholarships. Many of the stories you read from this book are from the nonprofit's Making a Difference for Autism Scholarship applicants.

When you purchase this book, all proceeds will go back to this nonprofit to hopefully fund initiatives like this scholarship program for years to come.

We invite you to enjoy their stories.
