Autistic Distractions and Difficulties

Growing up Travis was easily distracted by the smallest things. No one could figure out why he could not focus on the task at hand. He had a very difficult time multitasking and could not connect with other kids. After years of questions the answer as to why his life was so difficult was because he was autistic. Every little distraction took him off task which caused problems with school work. By the time he had reached middle school he was so distracted with trying to understand the social world around him that he stopped doing his homework. As a result his grades began to slide. It would take years before anyone would realize that he was autistic and he was so focused on his social surroundings that he could not do his own school work. Diagnosed with autism now Travis eliminates his distractions by focusing in on his special interest areas in life. In school the special interest was playing the trombone. Today the special interest is dating and women. Follow Travis as he navigates life with autism in this informative book about living with autism spectrum disorder.
