Synopsis

Liam's Life with Autism, Sensory Overload is a story of a boy name Liam that has autism. Liam has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder ("SPD"). SPD can manifest itself in two different forms, hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity. Liam suffers with hypersensitivity which means he has extreme sensitivity to noise, crowds, touch, texture, bright lights, certain clothing, and a change in routine. The book allows you to see how SPD can interfere with an autistic child's daily function. Because the environment impacts Liam's life so profoundly, all situations can be full of stress and painful in Liam's everyday life. Liam is like any other boy who enjoys playing with his favorite toy, dancing, or just being around the people he loves but because of his speech limitations, he cannot express his feelings, his wants or needs. When Liam is faced with the inability to express himself, he becomes frustrated and acts out inappropriately which causes people to misunderstand Liam as being bad when, in fact, he's just mad.

À propos de l'auteur

FREDDY OCASIO was born and raised in The Bronx, he is married with three children and continues to live and work in New York. Growing up with Speech, Language Disorders and ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Freddy experienced first-hand how it felt not to fit in because he was different from others. Early on in his life he was placed in Special Education classes but hard work and perseverance quickly earned him placement among the general education classes within the New York City public school system. He graduated from Medgar Evers College with an Associates, he subsequently received a Bachelors in Speech and Audiology from Lehman College and went on to graduate with a Master’s in Education from Mercy College. Freddy's goal in life is to make a difference in the lives of children with disabilities, having experienced good and bad times because of his behavior and limited speech. He went on to work with students with multiple disabilities then the emotionally disturbed population but his true love is working with children who have autism, which he has done for many years into this day. Presently, he has put his considerable teaching skills and vast knowledge into writing his first book, Liam's Life with Autism, Sensory Overload. Freddy's desire is that this book will bring more awareness to a wider audience. Children and adults reading his book will have a greater understanding of the characteristics of Autism. He plans to follow it up with many more titles in the future. Freddy favorite quote comes from the American journalist, Jim Watkins, which thoroughly depicts Freddy's life long journey. "A river cuts through rock, not because of its power, but because of its persistence."
