​
Autistically Awesome is an easy read because it gets straight to the point, uses language that the readers will be able to understand, the information is relevant due to the vast amount of children who are currently being diagnosed with Autism, and once you start reading you will not want to put it down. If you don’t know much about Autism Spectrum Disorder, I highly recommend you to enjoy this book so that you can become more familiar with the diagnosis.

Author's Background
​
​
Over the past 12 years, working in the mental health field as a Licensed Behavioral Specialist, I’ve learned a lot working in the Human Services Field. Having exposure to all Exceptional individuals with a variety of diagnoses and ranging from 2 – years – old to 21 – years – old, it has been a great pleasure with helping and supporting ASD *(Autism Spectrum Disorder) individuals. Enrolling in multiple training classes as well as earning my license through the State Board of Medicine with working with the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) population, which is the reason why I wanted to create this book to help caretakers, professionals, as well as any other entity for wanting to know more about Autism Spectrum Disorder. No matter what level of understanding of this exceptionality you are aware of, I hope I was able to assist you with a clearer understanding of ASD as well as what steps to take to get appropriate support.
