What'S My Colour on the Spectrum?: a Novel Approach in Supporting Autistic Children and Young People
What’s My Colour On The Spectrum? introduces a fresh, compassionate way of understanding autism through the lens of neurodiversity rather than disability. Written by a developmental paediatrician drawing on years of clinical experience, the book reimagines autism presentations as seven distinct “colors of the rainbow.” Each color reflects recurring patterns of strengths, challenges, and lived experiences seen in children and young people on the spectrum. Through vivid case-based stories inspired by real patients, readers gain insight into why certain behaviors differ, how environments shape outcomes, and what makes every neurodivergent journey unique.
This book offers parents, carers, educators, therapists, clinicians, and society at large a practical and philosophical framework to both understand and support autistic children. With clear explanations, relatable narratives, and actionable strategies, it shifts the paradigm from fixing deficits to fostering fulfillment. The goal is simple yet profound: to create a world where no child—regardless of their brain type—faces harm, but instead is supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
