Synopsis

What does it mean to grow up beside someone the world does not always understand?

Nikhila Chunduri was still a child when she realized people treated her younger brother differently. He is autistic. She is his older sister, and she has spent years watching, asking questions, and standing up for him.

In Destigmatizing Autism in Adolescents, Nikhila blends her own family and school stories with published research. She explores:

• Why masking and hiding stimming can harm autistic youth
• The difference between pity and true empathy
• Why girls and minority children are often missed in diagnosis
• How bullying, peer pressure, and careless words affect students
• How families can move from wanting a "normal" child to full acceptance

Honest, hopeful, and written from a teenager's point of view, this book makes one simple case: autistic people do not need to be fixed. They need to be understood, supported, and accepted.

The book also includes fun activities, a word search, discussion questions, and a glossary, so it works well for students, families, teachers, and book clubs.

"An insightful, deeply moving work that blends a sibling's lived experience with sharp research."
Trupti Dave, Counseling Psychologist
