What's My Colour On the Spectrum?

By shifting from pathology to possibility, this book challenges stigma, broadens perspectives, and empowers us all to build a world where every neurodivergent child can thrive.

What's My Colour On The Spectrum? introduces a fresh, compassionate way of understanding autism through the lens of neurodiversity rather than disability. Written by a developmental paediatrician drawing on years of clinical experience, the book reimagines autism presentations as seven distinct "colours of the rainbow." Each colour reflects recurring patterns of strengths, challenges, and social emotional profiles through lived experiences seen in children and young people on the spectrum. Through vivid case-based stories inspired by real patients, readers gain insight into why certain behaviours differ, how environments shape outcomes, and what makes every neurodivergent journey unique.

Far from pathologising differences, this book celebrates them. It offers parents, carers, educators, therapists, clinicians, and society at large a practical and philosophical framework to both understand and support autistic children. With clear explanations, relatable narratives, and actionable strategies, it shifts the paradigm from fixing deficits to fostering fulfillment. The goal is simple yet profound: to create a world where no child-regardless of their brain type-faces harm, but instead is supported, valued, and empowered to thrive.
