EBOOK
About
Living with Autism is based on my two sons, Damion and Otis Clincy. This book portrays the challenges and struggles they have faced in the classroom and in the real world. I wanted to bring more awareness to the Black community when it comes to autism. It is nothing to be ashamed of, and one out of three kids might be impacted by autism. As the years go by, I have witnessed more kids with autism. I have talked to other parents who share the same issues on a daily basis. There are more opportunities and more exposure to autistic kids in the world. I see more videos on social media displaying kids with autism, and I am glad to see it. I was frustrated at times when my kids were young because the special education department has changed since I was a young person. Now there are different elements when it comes to disabled kids. I was a strong advocate for my kids, and although they are grown, I am still part of the fight for autistic kids to be treated fairly and get all the resources they need to be productive people. Thanks again for all the support, and I hope we can continue to uplift all kids regardless of race or disability.
