About the Book

Travis shares how he came to terms with having autism and embraces it. Travis was experiencing a lot of traumatic things due to having schizophrenia that he thought was autism. He hated autism because of the psychosis and he did not know that the psychosis was caused by his schizophrenia instead of the autism. Travis shares how he is really good at some things he does because of having autism. Travis loves how autism gives him special interests like playing the trombone or writing books. Travis loves to sit and focus on one thing that he enjoys obsessively so that he can become really good at it. Travis has the ability to focus like a laser and really accomplish a lot of good things because of his autism. His schizophrenia does get in the way sometimes but he works hard to overcome that too. Travis shares with the reader all of the beautiful things in the world that come by having autism. You will see the world through Travis' eyes in this informative book about what living with a co-diagnosis of autism and schizophrenia is like. This is a great tool for parents and educators wanting to gain more insight into the autistic and schizophrenic mind. Here is an excerpt from the book. "There are some symptoms of autism and schizophrenia that make it hard to tell if it is caused by the autism or if it is caused by schizophrenia. Like for example, the make believe world is something that I have a hard time telling if it is autism or schizophrenia. Many people with autism create a make believe world to use as a coping mechanism. However I have decided that most of my make believe world is from Schizophrenia and hearing voices or having hallucinations or delusions that just are not a part of reality. I think most of my psychosis except for the depression is from having Schizophrenia. It is natural that the depression and anxiety would come from autism. It is also natural that some suicidal ideation comes along from autism and schizophrenia as well. Both disorder can be challenging and make some people feel like suicide is their only way out. However, there tends to be a higher suicide and death rate with Schizophrenia than there is with autism."
About the Author: I'm Travis. I'm a 30 year old author of books about autism. I like football, basketball, tennis, hiking, music, rock, writing, reading, and talking. I have overcome the greatest challenge in my life. I no longer cope with autism I live happily with it. I have some really amazing friends and a truly inspirational and awesome best friend! Life had always been a struggle for me until I started taking responsibility for my own life and situation. I spent a long time wanting and expecting others to fix or improve my life and make it what I wanted it to be. Truth be known, I was the only one who could and can do that. Now I write books about autism and how I am taking responsibility for my own life. What a difference I've seen in life. Life is what we choose to make of it. I don't want to just be known as a guy with Autism. I want to be known as a guy who's doing something awesome with Autism! Travis is dually diagnosed with Autism and Schizophrenia.
