  "textContent": "Today is the publication of the third edition of Autism\nAdulthood: Insights and Creative Strategies for a Fulfilling Life. It’s my wife Susan’s book collecting stories and experiences from people all along the autism spectrum, from the self-diagnosed to the profound.\n\nThe book includes dozens of interviews with autistic adults, their parents, caregivers, researchers, and professionals. Everyone’s experience of autism is different. Reading others’ stories and perspectives can give us a glimpse into other possibilities for ourselves and our loved ones.\n\nIf you have someone in your life on the spectrum, or are on it yourself, I guarantee you will find new ways to understand the breadth of what autism means and what it can be.\n\nSusan has also written two other non-fiction autism\nbooks, including a memoir of our early days with our son Nat. Of course I highly recommend all of them.",
