Autism

"Autism" – Spiro Saqellari is a scientific and educational book that aims to explain autism spectrum disorder in a simplified, understandable way.

The book covers the main aspects of autism, starting with early child development, difficulties in verbal and non-verbal communication, and the challenges in social interaction and repetitive behaviours that often characterise the condition.

The author also focuses on:

• the importance of noticing the signs early
• the process of diagnosis and assessment
• the role of family and school in supporting the child
• the need for individually tailored therapy and intervention

The book takes a more practical than theoretical approach, trying to give parents and educators a clearer understanding of how children on the autism spectrum think and perceive the world.

📌 The key message is that autism is not a lack of ability, but a different form of neuropsychological development that requires patience, understanding and ongoing support.
