"I didn’t find out I was autistic until I was diagnosed at 13 years old. When I was given books about Autism / Asperger's or watched television shows, I felt so much of what it's like to be autistic was missed out. At 16 I wanted to help other kids like me to know they’re not alone and give them something to show their parents if they're not feeling able to explain their struggles. That’s why I wrote; The Secrets of My Spectrum." ~ Callum Knight (Author) The Secrets of My Spectrum offers a one-of-a-kind insight into the Autism Spectrum—written by a sixteen-year-old.
