Infos

Combining 36 pages of full illustrations with a first-hand account of living life as a child with autism, My Life Beyond Autism: A Mayo Clinic Patient Story provides a humbling and inspiring look at how an autism spectrum disorder affects children. Tracy likes to draw, make movies and play, just like other kids. She also has autism spectrum disorder. This means she processes many everyday situations differently, such as making friends. Over time, she's learned tricks for communicating and coping when things are hard for her. Follow along as Tracy gives a peek at what life is really like for someone living with autism and how she discovered life beyond this common disorder. Children's voices are rarely heard amid the complexity of modern medicine. Thats why every story in the My Life Beyond series stems from the imagination and experience of a Mayo Clinic patient. The books were developed through collaboration between these patients, Mayo Clinic physicians and author-illustrator Hey Gee. Through this unique lens of inspiring real-life experiences, the series explores how children view illness, challenges and recovery. One in fifty-four children in the U.S. are diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorderwhich includes autism, Aspergers syndrome, and childhood disintegrative disorderbut their experiences with this condition are rarely shared. With 36 pages of full illustrations,My Life Beyond Autismbrings the reader into the world of a child diagnosed with autism to show how children with this condition view their disorder and work through common behavioral challenges.
