Link, Autism-Europe This book will be invaluable to anyone who works with autistic people in mainstream high schools, colleges, universities and in the workplace. Yes I do mean autistic people. Christine Breakey uses the term that many autistic people themselves want used. Their autism is an integral part of their being, not a bolt-on, and must be viewed as such this book is a must. One can hear the author's sensible, calm voice coming through clearly and I found it very inspiring.
