Testing revealed a diagnosis of autism with a low IQ.  Experts insisted that leading an independent life would be impossible for him...and school was not an option.   Supported by documentation and interviews, Michael's heartfelt memoir traces the sustained challenges and turbulent journey he faced.  His life was plagued by failures, negative results, rejections from schools, and inability to complete simple karate moves or participate in activities --all which confirmed the hopeless situation.  But Michael was surrounded by support, and he was encouraged to keep trying no matter how many times he failed.  Developmental progress was not always obvious, but Michael was finding his own unique path.  What Autism Gave Me is a powerful reminder that the human drive to succeed is stronger than any diagnosis.
