Part memoir and part guidebook to gaining a deeper
understanding, The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind insight into
the Autism Spectrum -written by a sixteen-year-old.



For years, Callum struggled to navigate the world he lived in and meet social
expectations before being told he was autistic at age thirteen. Wishing others
understood more about the challenges of being on the spectrum, the teen shares
his insights, perceptions, reactions, and experiences, from the triggers that
lead to anxiety and shutdowns to tips for coping with stressful situations such
as travelling, socialising, and communicating.



With honesty and forthrightness, The Secrets of My
Spectrum explores the challenges-and the great gifts-that come with living on
the spectrum.
