I Cracked The Autism Code: What We Didn't Know About Autism And ADHD That Changes Everything
Autism explained like you’ve never heard it before.
We know what the manifested behavior of autism is, but do we understand the reason behind the behavior? Up until now, we didn’t, and we wouldn’t have because who could bridge the gap between the neurotypical and the neurodivergent brain? It would have taken a neurotypical to become neurodivergent or a neurodivergent to become neurotypical.
I am a brave soul on the spectrum who made it my mission to crack the neurotypical brain code. Despite grappling with social anxiety, my unwavering determination to comprehend the abilities of neurotypical individuals led me to the right questions, revealing an answer that blew me away. Once I understood what it is that the neurotypical brain can do, I then understood what my brain couldn’t. I could then accurately find ways to better adjust myself in the neurotypical world I am living in.
In this book, I share with you my eureka of the single factor that explains all my autistic-related behavior. I demonstrate how the understanding of it completely changed how I do things and interact with others. I also share with you the mystery of ADHD.
I believe that my discoveries will change the entire approach toward people with autism and ADHD.
I have seen people’s lives change dramatically as a result of my insight.
I am excited to see more lives changed for the better!

Highly recommended, this book caught my attention for its insights into understanding individuals living on the autism spectrum. It allows one to empathize and step into their shoes, seeing the world from a different perspective. It elucidates how our minds operate differently, yet ultimately, we are all the same—wonderful human beings with diverse ways of experiencing life. I appreciate how the book is clearly divided into three parts: understanding autism from the unknown, detailing cognitive and motor behaviors within society, discerning between the usual and the unusual, and elucidating the components that facilitate progress without limitations, enabling individuals with autism to achieve their desires and find complete happiness. Definitely recommended if you want to learn more about autism or if you know someone on the spectrum. I consider it the best book to have in your library to better connect with our autistic individuals. :) :)
After reading the book, without prior knowledge on the subject, I can now clearly understand autistic individuals. I have friends whom I didn't know are autistic, and now I understand them much better, in their way of expressing themselves. Our friendships have strengthened, Thanks Roma for this work that will change many lives! Cheers!

As a nurse I have had the privilege of working with young children on the spectrum of Autism. I understand the biological aspects of it but this book really helped me understand what it’s actually like for the person. It’s helped me explain the condition easier to parents of newly diagnosed children.
This book is authentic and really shows that we are all capable of anything despite any perceived disadvantages. It’s beautifully written and from the heart. The determination shown by the author not only to understand how she is affected by her autism but the willingness to share her discovery with the world is truly courageous.
If you have an autistic child are family member this is a must read. I urge all health professionals to read it as it shows insights into the challenges someone with autism can face.

This book, written by my friend, is a personal and insightful look into the world of autism. It's been amazing to see her growth and understanding of her own autism.
In the book, she talks about her deep desire to understand why she felt different from others and how she learned to navigate social situations. She explains that her brain can only focus on one thing at a time, so she struggles with things like making eye contact and understanding sarcasm.
One thing she mentions is how sensitive she is to lights and sounds, especially when she's anxious. She explains that when she's anxious, her brain can't focus on anything else, making stimuli seem sharper and louder.
Overall, this book is a great read for anyone looking to understand autism better. It's a personal and honest account that sheds light on the challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum.

Romas background is fascinating to hear. Having known her for so many years, I was thrilled when she announced her book!
With her psychology and social work background, and having navigated through her own personal journey to work out, where and how she fits in the world, her insights in to the spectrum of neurodivergence is enlightening.
The fact that she has a no nonsense, direct approach to communicating means the reader will get a very straight forward explanation on how someone under the umbrella of neurodivergence views the world.
A must read if you, or your child, or a person you care for, is viewed a little bit differently.
“I Cracked the Autism Code” will guide you on how to understand and embrace this uniqueness. It may even teach you to view yourself, and the world in which we live, in a different and more compassionate way.

April 29, 2024Well done my darling Roma, for cracking the code and for staying on course with your purpose. I expect to see many more books from you, for the autism spectrum is getting a bit out of hand and I know that you were born for such a time as this, so that you can help others to also crack their autism code. Well pleased with this book and with you... I am, well pleased!!!

This book was such an eye opener to me especially that I never had such a deep understanding of what being autistic really means. It helps you understand and truly imagine being in the shoes of people on the spectrum. Whether you already deal with an autistic person, or might do so one day, this is definitely a good read to guide you on how to communicate with them.

A great book offering vivid insights into the challenges of the autistic mind. As someone who's only tangentially dealt with this subject, I found the book profoundly helpful in understanding how to best approach and communicate with people with autism. In addition to the content, the author's style is straightforward and engaging, making the book a very pleasant read despite its heavy subject.

This book changes everything by helping to connect people on the spectrum and ADHD’s with the mainstream society. It made me appreciate myself, understand my limits, but mostly, to recognize my strengths.
December 18, 2024
seems to me that the author thinks quite a lot of herself. I am less convinced that she has "cracked the code" for every autistic person everywhere. as the saying goes, if you've met one autistic person, you've met one autistic person.
