Synopsis

Discover how students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) think and learn differently in this groundbreaking guide for educators. Drawing from extensive research and firsthand accounts, On the Same Wavelength: Neurodiversity, Memory, Learning, and the Autism Spectrum introduces the innovative Thinking, Memory, and Learning Framework (TML), empowering teachers to become cross-cultural interpreters between neurotypical and neurodivergent minds.

Through a unique blend of neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience, this book challenges traditional teaching approaches and offers practical insights for creating hospitable learning environments that honour cognitive diversity. Whether you're a classroom teacher, school leader, or education professional, you'll gain valuable tools for understanding and supporting students with ASD, while learning how to build bridges between different ways of thinking and learning. This essential resource transforms complex research into actionable strategies for inclusive education.
