Publisher's Summary
A rare insight into the complexities faced by autistic people and a completely new perspective on some astonishing advantages of autism.
For autistic individuals, relatives and carers, teachers, friends, partners, employers or anyone else who is interested in learning about autism.
Suitable for all ages & genders.
Fed up with his frustrations, feelings of failure and self-imposed loneliness and resenting his autism, Callum was at his breaking point. He decided to write down everything that had gone wrong in his life and was surprised by what he found out.
On his raw and honest journey of self-discovery, Callum L Gamble takes you from being an anxious schoolboy, through a turbulent adolescence, to becoming an award-winning entrepreneur.
Along the way, you will:
1: Meet his family, feel his joy and grief, witness his unique experiences, such as work experience at a Formula One team, trying his hand at being a racing driver, or finding himself utterly uncomfortable in dating situations.
2: See how he comes to realise that being different is not all doom and gloom for us and that our successes have not happened despite but because we are different.
