Eric Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media’s coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. In this book, he uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of many types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Eric Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.
