The high incidence of autism in our world today ensures that most of us have heard of autism or Asperger Syndrome, and likely know one or more people with these diagnoses. All too often, the focus of news and statistics is negative. "More Than a Sum of Diagnostic Differences" focuses instead on the positives, for there is much to celebrate about the people behind the diagnosis, and the numerous contributions they make to the lives of those who interact with them each day. In this book, Laurel Falvo shares information about what autism is, and how we can understand, appreciate, and interact more effectively with people diagnosed with various forms of autism.
