Grandma is on the Spectrum

When people mention autism, they often mean children or young adults and the programs that support them. However, one does not suddenly grow out of being autistic--ASD, ADD, and ADHD. We just grow better at avoiding our trigger areas and developing covering skills.

In this compelling book, the author, Diane Fobes, starts with a very open biography explaining her undiagnosed life and how she escaped her diagnosis until she was sixty-five. Then she talks about some ideas on helping our seniors on the spectrum and supports the mothers (and fathers) who are raising a new generation of children and young adults on the spectrum, as well as those discovering that they might have senior relatives who are on the spectrum as well.
