Spirituality and the Autism Spectrum

Defining spirituality as the spirit with which we confront concrete reality , this is the first book to focus on the spirituality of people with autism spectrum disorders. Drawing on verbal and non-verbal narratives, Abe Isanon explores the individual`s struggle to come to terms with his or her humanity. He looks at the spirituality of those who can neither reflect upon, nor express, their own life experiences, and how this affects both them and their careers. This thought-provoking book will inspire all those who live and work with autism to strive towards a better understanding of its spiritual nature. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only.
