The author, Tosha Rollins, states, “As a mother of two young adults on the autism spectrum, I wish I had been better educated about autism. My children inspired my becoming a licensed professional counselor." She started the Autism in Action podcast and has created resources like Autismology for families like hers.
Autismology is a much needed resource for parents and people living with autism. Capturing key phrases in the increasingly accepted neurodiversity movement, Tosha Rollins gives readers much needed information to better navigate the complex medical systems affecting the care of themselves or loved ones. Tosha gives readers a fresh perspective on the ever growing culture of neurodiversity. She provides readers the language of autism, a much needed step in solidifying a movement that has been around for almost 30 years. This work is necessary for any professional working with mental health who wishes to serve people with autism. — Sean M Inderbitzen LCSW, therapist and person on the ASD spectrum
Autismology: An Autism Dictionary is an essential and core addition to personal, professional, community, and college/university library Autism collections for special needs educators, public school teachers, occupational therapists, ABA therapists, psychologists, mental health counselors, autistic adults, and parents with children on the autism spectrum. — Margaret Lane, Midwest Book Review
