A collection of colourful essays about life with Asperger's/Autism/ASD spectrum... 26 personal stories from people around the world, bringing together our collective experiences, feelings and thoughts about living on the spectrum From the Preface to the book... Every story I read resonated with my own experiences, bringing up lots of old memories, pain, feelings, and frustrations... with very little joy. I promised myself I would make a 'positive' book about life on the spectrum, and so I hope the reader takes away not only the common suffering, but also the incredible uniqueness of that which we now 'label' Asperger's, Autism, or ASD My hopes are that once more people realise how the wrongly used, and now even clich� the words of 'special' and 'gifted' are for people living on the spectrum, we will simply become more 'accepted' and honoured within society. I often tell people, if I had to choose a friend between a 'normal' person, and someone on the spectrum, I would almost always choose someone one the spectrum - they (we) are some of the most loyal, honest, trustworthy, warm and friendly people I know... yet, all too often, only the 'negative' aspects of the spectrum are highlighted in social media, the news, etc. I believe it is time to accept who we are, honour ourselves, and take our rightful place in the world as we are - not behaviourally 'modified' for general public consumption It has been a long, intense journey to get to this point, and I would like to extend a big, heart-felt thanks to all those who helped along the way... I couldn't have done it without you! Includes contributions from... Carla Betancourt, Chante Douglas, Genevieve Osteria, Inga Kerry, Jennie Quinn, Jennifer Reynolds, Lakenya Colenburg, Lindsey Wade, Morgan Davis, Saira Zuberi, Whitney Hodgins ...and many additional anonymous writers Cover Design by Janine Poon

A is for Attitude, the ABCs of Life is a book that was inspired by Robert Butler (Papa), the Grandfather and Great-Grandfather of the co-authors of the book. While growing up, Papa would use proverbs to teach his grandchildren and great-grandchildren lessons that he hoped would carry them throughout their lifetime. As he got older, Shelli, his oldest granddaughter sat down with him to record the proverbs that he shared with his family, however, he was able to recall only one proverb, which was C is for cough, its cousin is sneeze. Cover them both with your handkerchief please. So, we created a proverb for the remaining letters of the alphabet and have shared them with you. Not only will you be introduced to a proverb for each letter of the alphabet, you will also have the opportunity to experience the vibrant illustrations that represent people from diverse backgrounds who are different races, ethnicities, religions, and have different abilities. It is our hope that the proverbs shared within this book will resonate with you and your family. We also hope that you are able to relate to the illustrations. We also employed the flip method, where you are able to flip the book upside down and experience the book in black & white. It was our intent for readers to be able to color the pictures to represent themselves or those whom they love. We hope that you enjoy reading and interacting with the book as much as we enjoyed writing and illustrating the book.
