Why is an autistic child often drawn to spinning objects? Why is it hard for children with autism to master the ability to express themselves?

Now, one young man who has lived his life with autism shares a poignant, personal account of his experience so that others can have a clearer understanding of this elusive terrain.

I Live my Life With Autism is a chronological memoir by Matthew Kryspin that takes readers through his developmental years to his present days, sharing the world that his loved ones could not enter. The memoir reveals his point of view and thought process through preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and two subsequent years of education.

By illuminating how the world unfolds to Matthew, and how Matthew, in turn, unfolds himself to the world around him, this rare memoir offers a story of hope and encouragement. Parents of children from ages three to twelve years old who are concerned about their child’s development and future will find this book especially meaningful. Anyone who wants to forge the best tomorrow possible for an autistic person will welcome this uplifting book.
