Navigating the world of autism as a parent is a voyage through a spectrum of profound emotions, from the initial shock and confusion of the diagnosis to the relentless pursuit of understanding, acceptance, and support. It's a journey marked by hurdles yet illuminated by moments of profound connection and clarity.
I Am Still Like You…Autism Through My Point of View is more than a book; it’s a beacon of hope and understanding. It reminds us that within every individual with autism lies a unique story, a wealth of potential, and a heart yearning for connection. Dr. Tamara Moodie’s work doesn’t just illuminate the path to understanding; it inspires us to walk it, hand in hand, with those who experience the world differently.

Dr. Tamara Moodie is the founder of South Florida Autism Charter School (SFACS), the largest and only school of its kind exclusively for children with autism in South Florida.
