Souls; Beneath & Beyond Autism
SOULS: BENEATH & BEYOND AUTISM (paperback version)
SOULS: Beneath & Beyond Autism by Thomas Balsamo et al, TPB from McGraw-Hill Companies, ISBN 0072967846. Those diagnosed with autism are usually seen as people with a disability that shuts them off emotionally from the outside world and makes them hard to reach. Souls - named Literary Work of the Year 2003 by the Autism Society of America - moves beyond this perception to capture the hidden strength and happiness of autistic individuals and their families. Powerful, evocative words and photographs reveal the unique people behind the stereotypes, showing an identity not always visible on the surface.
