Fireworks Night: An Autism Story - Hardcover

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Callum Knight was diagnosed with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) when he was thirteen years old. When he read books about autism and watched television shows, he felt so many things about being autistic were left out. At sixteen, he decided to write about his experiences in The Secrets of My Spectrum in the hope that it could help other kids like him to know they are not alone and give them something to show their family, teachers or carers. Callum lives with his family in Kent, UK. He teamed up with L.B. Arthur to write this children's picture book, which is based on his personal experiences as a child with Autism/ASD.
