Daniel Bowman Jr.
2022 Book of the Year Award, Academy of Parish ClergyNearly everyone knows someone on the autism spectrum, whether it's a niece or nephew, a student in their classroom, a coworker, or a sibling, spouse, or child. One in 54 children has 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.On the Spectrum 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 crises in his personal and professional life. 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.Rather 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.

"I don't have ASD (although my doctor has said that maybe I should get tested haha), however, I do have ADHD. While they are not the same at all, they do have A TON of comorbidities. Needless to say, I love this book. One day, I was looking for some new Psych. books (a big interest of mine) and I decided to look in the "Faith" section of the store for once. I'm so glad I did. Neurodiversity isn't talked about enough in Christian circles. Everything about this book is perfect to me. Huge help. "
