ABOUT THE BOOK.

Autism Is a Gift, Not a Curse is more than a book, it’s a call to reimagine how we see autism.

Written by Daniel David, a passionate advocate,and a person who has worked with autistic individuals and their families, this book challenges the outdated and harmful belief that autism is something to fear or fix. Instead, it offers a bold and compassionate reframing: autism is not a limitation, but a unique and powerful way of experiencing the world.

Through clear, expert insight and deeply moving real-life stories, Daniel invites readers to explore autism not as a disorder, but as a rich neurodiverse identity, one that holds immense creativity, strength, and potential. He explains the science of neurodiversity, dispels persistent myths, and shines a light on the incredible gifts often hidden behind the label of “disability.”

Spanning education, workplace inclusion, relationships, mental health, and personal empowerment, this book provides practical guidance for parents, educators, employers, and anyone who wants to better understand and support those on the spectrum. The stories within, raw, uplifting, and inspiring, give voice to individuals and families who have not only overcome obstacles but who have discovered meaning, success, and joy because of autism, not despite it.

Whether you're on the spectrum, love someone who is, or simply care about creating a more inclusive world, Autism Is a Gift, Not a Curse will challenge you, inspire you, and expand your understanding of what it means to be truly human.
