About the Book:
"Growing Up on The Spectrum" is a 101 guide to autism for everyone on and off the spectrum who wants to understand autism better!
This graphic novel by autistic creator Tess Langston is part educational comic and part memoir. Tess was diagnosed autistic and nonspeaking at a very young age and worked hard to learn how to navigate the strange, neurotypical world we live in. Now, as an adult with a love for sequential storytelling, she has created Growing Up on the Spectrum to share all that she’s learned.
The book explores how autistic brains function, how masking works, special interests, sensory input, nonverbal communication, overwhelm, burnout, and so much more—all with whimsy, humor, and respect for readers.
It also includes external resource guides, a handy glossary, and even interactive portions to help readers explore their own experience, including relationship charts, shame-busting worksheets, brain archetype visual aids, and more.
"Growing Up on the Spectrum" is an essential and enjoyable resource for everybody!
