Inhaltsangabe

The third book in Michelle Swan's 'Living Autistically' series, Perfectly Normal Autistic challenges the idea that Autism is a disorder, deficit, illness, brokenness, or any other form of 'something wrong'. Instead Michelle looks at all the things that are normal about being Autistic. She confronts the stereotypes and stigma surrounding autism, taking on topics such as diagnostic criteria, functioning labels, compliance and other misguided societal ideas. Looking at ways to live well as an Autistic person, Michelle shares the evolution of her own thinking as it has changed over time. She celebrates the freedom found in learning to truly understand yourself and to stand confidently claiming your strengths and differences. Michelle finds courage where others only see difficulty, and encourages readers to do the same.
