Poetry by individual poets : Coping with disability |
| This book is a composition of powerful, poignant and perceptive poems that depict life on the autism spectrum. Written by a young person with High Functioning Autism, the poems reflect on her school and college years, capturing sadness at being marginalised as well as appreciation for the people who supported her. The poems provide important insights on the difficulties that people on the autism spectrum face, including deep anxiety and developing social relationships. Although 1 in 100 people have this condition, as it affects everyone differently, it is often misunderstood and ignored. Lauren's book adds to the calls for perception of autism to be widened, encouraging a positive and informed attitude towards those with this complex condition. |

"I almost broke down in tears - there will be so many autistic people out there who can relate to it." "Your poems made me think about things from a young person's perspective when it comes to education and the impact decisions and experiences have on a person." "Thank you, Lauren, for your bravery and honesty in your poems." -- Anon
