About this listen
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most discussed yet misunderstood conditions in the world today. It's a neurodevelopmental difference that affects how people experience the world—how they communicate, interact socially, and express behaviors, interests, or routines. And while science has advanced, voices have risen, and advocacy has grown, a cloud of misconceptions still lingers over what autism actually is—and what it isn’t.
For decades, autism was defined largely by stereotypes and assumptions. Media portrayals often focused on extremes—either a child who couldn't speak or a mathematical genius with little emotional expression. Schools, workplaces, and even medical professionals at times operated from outdated models of understanding. The result? Stigma. Misdiagnosis. And a troubling lack of support for countless autistic individuals.
But autism is not a tragedy. It’s not a puzzle to be solved. It’s not a one-size-fits-all diagnosis. It’s a spectrum—diverse, complex, and deeply human.
Today, we are fortunate to live in a time when awareness of autism is growing. Self-advocates are speaking out. Families are better informed. Educators and clinicians are evolving. Yet, with this progress comes the responsibility to challenge the myths that still shape how society views autism—and the people who live with it every day.
That’s the purpose of this book.
Why Myths Matter
Some might argue that myths are harmless. That generalizations and assumptions about autism are natural, especially for people who haven't had much exposure to it.

Story
The internet has transformed our world in amazing ways. With just a few clicks, we can talk to friends on the other side of the globe, discover new music, explore our favorite hobbies, shop for just about anything, and even take entire college courses from the comfort of our couch. It’s no exaggeration to say that the internet is one of the greatest tools ever invented. But just like in the real world, not everyone you meet online has good intentions. Hidden among the games, chats, and cute cat videos are people who spend their time trying to trick others.

Story
Our lungs are amazing organs! In fact, they’re some of the hardest-working parts of our bodies. Every moment of every day, our lungs draw in air, extract the oxygen we need to survive, and expel carbon dioxide, the waste product we don’t need. This exchange happens quietly in the background, without us even noticing most of the time. Whether we’re awake, asleep, walking, laughing, or simply sitting still, our lungs are constantly doing their job—keeping us alive and energized. Breathing is one of those things we take for granted—until something goes wrong.

Story
Dogs are wonderful companions. They greet us with wagging tails after a long day, snuggle close when we’re feeling down, and fill our homes with love, laughter, and often a bit of mischief. Their loyalty is unwavering, their joy infectious, and their affection unconditional. This is why, for millions of households around the world, dogs are more than pets—they're family. We feed them, care for them, walk them, and even talk to them as if they fully understand us (and sometimes, we’re convinced they do). This deep bond we share is built on trust, routine, and mutual affection.
