A celebration of the talents and insights of children on the autism spectrum, The Hidden World of Autism presents a collection of writings and drawings contributed by 21 autistic children.

The children's work covers topics that are of primary importance in understanding some of the common experiences that children with autism, and their families, go through. These include life before diagnosis, friendships, relationships, feelings, bullying and the future. A key characteristic of having autism is the inability to express emotions; but too often that prevents children with autism from being listened to. This book gives them both a voice and a forum for creative expression and provides direct insight into what having autism means for the children themselves and how they feel about their experiences.

This unique collection provides invaluable insights into the autistic experience for professionals, families and friends of children with autism, as well as the children themselves.

Rebecca Chilvers new book looks at high-functioning autism from the child's point of view -not a researchers.

Rebecca Chilvers met many children in her work as a psychologist at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. Once her experience allowed her to understand the uniqueness of children with autism she wrote this book to allow them to be heard. The amazing thing with this book is that she lets the children's voices be heard -not hers.

As many children with autism have difficulty expressing themselves through words, she included their artwork- in full color. This makes this book un-like any other book published on autism.

Poetry written by siblings is also included.

I am lucky to be the mother of one of the children chronicled in this book.

What I feel the reader will most enjoy about this book is the author has intertwined what research into autism has shown with what the children with high-functioning autism feel. This insight helps what the children say and draw make sense to the reader.

Some of the topics covered include -
What is so different about me ?
School - social problems,fitting in, help and support
Family dynamics,Handling obsessions,The future -social ,educational

This book would make a lovely present for a special education teacher, an art teacher, a parent or a pediatrician.

I hope this book will help society to understand these delightful children and include them more in our society.
