The autism community is absolutely awash with writings. There are books upon books which range from pragmatic to theoretical. Some are autobiographical in nature while others are practical "Tips, Tricks and How-to" books. What sets the writing of Paul Isaacs apart is the nature of the man himself. In his books, Paul's humble heart becomes evident as he shares, with vivid detail, his struggles, lessons, triumphs and shining abilities as an autistic adult.
Through his affiliation with Autism Brainstorm (www.autismbrainstorm.org), I have come to know Paul as a wonderful autism presenter, a skillful writer and a man of great integrity. It is a privilege to recommend any book through which Paul shares his gifts of advocacy with the community.
Pick up Living Through the Haze to gain appreciation of Paul's long path to his ultimate purpose. Read Life Through a Kaleidoscope to gain understanding of his experiences of scotopic sensitivity syndrome.
In The Autistic Spectrum you will find a pocket guide to use in real life situations and in Paul's latest book:Understanding and Supporting Autistic Students in Specialized Schools you will find examples of how to assist loved ones on the spectrum in specialized learning environments.

Book Review - Living Through The Haze
A truly inspirational, real life journey in one book. As a parent with a child with severe high functioning autism; non verbal and experiencing the world in a multi sensory way, I had yet to hear anything of real emotion or hope. No professional can come close to describing the world through the eyes of someone on the spectrum. I felt like I was the only person in the room when attending a recent event at which Paul was a guest speaker, which spurred me on to buy his book and find out more. I just couldn't put it down. Thank you for being so honest and open, Paul. I have no doubt that I'm not the only parent you've inspired. Perhaps my son will be able to express to me one day how life is for him, the way that you have to the world. That would truly mean the world to me.

Paul Isaacs Freelance Speaker, Trainer and Consultant
Paul was branded as a “naughty child” at school. He was classically autistic in his early years and gained functional speech around the age of 7 or 8 years old. He went through mainstream school with no additional help or recognition of his autism. Consequently, he did not achieve his academic or his social potential and had very low self-esteem.
After a string of unsuccessful jobs, Paul’s mental health suffered. He was referred to mental health services and misdiagnosed with “Asperger traits with a complex personality”, which did not satisfy Paul was diagnosed by an experienced psychiatrist, who diagnosed him with High Functioning Autism at 24 years old.
Paul wanted to promote autism awareness and help others on the autism spectrum, in the hope that others would not have to suffer as he had. He became a speaker for an autism organisation and has not looked back! Presenting speeches, training and conducting consultancy, Paul is now a gone freelance and continues to raise the profile of autism at every opportunity. Having done much research, he is keen to explain the differences between Asperger’s Syndrome & Autism using Autism Consultant Donna William’s ‘Fruit Salad’ model.
Paul firmly believes in retaining the ASD acronym. He says there should not be a negative stigma around the word ‘disorder’. His message is that Autism is a complex mix of ability and disability and every person with autism (and all people) should be a valued member of society.
