One in 59 children is diagnosed with autism, according to the CDC, and autism is reported across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Yet most of what people think they know about autism is wrong.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn the Spectrum\u003c\/i\u003e debunks myths with a realistic yet hope-filled deep dive into the heart, mind, and life of a Christian. Daniel Bowman, a novelist, poet, and professor, received an autism diagnosis at age thirty-five after experiencing a time of crisis in his personal and professional life. For him, the diagnosis shed light on his experience in a new, life-giving way. In this captivating book, Bowman reveals new insights into autism, relationships, faith, and the gift of neurodiversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRather than viewing autism as a deficiency, Bowman teaches readers--through stories of his heartbreaks and triumphs--authentic ways to love their neighbors as themselves, including their autistic neighbors who are fearfully and wonderfully, if differently, made.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Brazos Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50482392498450,"sku":"9781587435317","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_41ee0c9a-c509-4888-a606-4c2a121b97c2.jpg?v=1737210583","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/on-the-spectrum-9781587435317","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
