Overview
Autism & Evolutionspirit, science & fairy tales Autism & Evolution presents a unique perspective that pushes the boundaries of accepted beliefs, including the current medical-model of autism. When seen in the light of evolution, autism makes a great deal of sense. Indeed, I propose that autistics are the forerunners of evolution, and that autism is a higher ability that's simply misunderstood. I re-imagine evolution from a cellular perspective, as I straddle the arenas of Spirit and Science. So, you'll see words like cells, DNA, the limbic system and hormones mingling with beliefs, chakras, fear and love, as I reveal the exquisite plan of evolution that's bringing liberation to autistics; and, indeed, to us all. In a delightful twist, I've employed some of your favourite fairy tale characters to reveal their profound secrets that align beautifully with evolution and autism. I see patterns and join dots across many genres. That's my gift. I feel certain that you too will see the patterns as I present my findings in this book. You may even wonder how you missed them previously. I started this book two years after the aspergers diagnosis that tipped my world upside down and shattered my identity. I had no idea it would lead me to the understanding that there's nothing wrong with me. It's my fervent hope that this book will help you to understand that there's nothing wrong with autistics; and that those bearing the autistic label will see themselves through a new, and beautiful, lens.

Reviews
'I was impressed with your analysis of patterns and etymology and application of children's stories. I never knew the philosophical and spiritual depth of Pinocchio. I know autistic adults will appreciate your book, as will those who love and support them, including family, friends and professional support.' Professor Tony Attwood. 'I have just finished reading your book - and what a blast it is!. You have my congratulations and admiration for a very well argued case for Autistics being at the forefront of evolution. The extensive research and review of existing information and the re-interpreting of fairy tales is so well presented. I know you realise that you are in a minority, but you are meeting the challenge head-on. I hope your message is widely picked up and progressed by others. Change, as you know, is glacial at times, but it has to start somewhere, with someone like you saying it as it is.' Dr Hira Singh MBBS, FRACGP Integrative Medicine Practitioner. Author of Healing the Whole Person. An introduction to Integrative Medicine.
