Moving beyond symptom-focused diagnostic models, it examines autism as a dynamic neurodevelopmental condition shaped by embodied experience, developmental context, and social environments. Drawing on contemporary neuroscientific findings and first‑person accounts, this book highlights the heterogeneity of autistic perception, cognition, and meaning-making and demonstrates how these insights challenge deficit-based assumptions that continue to dominate research and practice.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 115%;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;\"\u003eThrough its neurophenomenological approach, this book connects brain-level mechanisms with lived experience to support more individualized, ethically grounded care. Clinical chapters translate this integrative framework into practice, emphasizing autonomy, participation, mental health, and environmental adaptation over normalization.
