another 5 star review - this one from jessy m.


"A wonderful insight into a world that many of us don't understand or see-the world as seen though someone on the Austim spectrum. This book was recommended to me as part of my program when I was going to school to be a therapist and I am grateful for the opportunity for a realistic, open viewpoint. The views and insight offered from Mr. Meloy provide a valuable glimpse for anyone that knows, or is, on the spectrum. Would recommend to anyone looking to learn more and, most importantly, understand more about how life is for people with Autism."

“'Life and Spectrum' is an amazing look inside ... the (autism) spectrum," Stover said. "This book makes you think on all levels and gives a whole new outlook on anyone who has been diagnosed with autism or Asperger's."
