From the rear cover
"This book itself is one of the gifts of neurodivergence"
On the Spectrum debunks myths about autism with a realistic yet hope-filled deep dive into the heart, mind, and life of an autistic Christian.
"On the Spectrum rings with poetry, compassion, and wisdom, and it reveals so much about autistic experience. I felt nourished by the truths that Bowman tells and relieved to see them shared. This book may surprise you, and it will certainly inform you."
--Katherine May, author of Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times
"What a gift! I am so grateful to Bowman for searingly and beautifully sharing his own fearfully-and-wonderfully-made story and inviting all of us to a more full, more diverse, more compelling vision of the kingdom of God."
--Sarah Bessey, editor of A Rhythm of Prayer; author of Jesus Feminist
"Bowman's memoir is a wise pathway to loving our neighbors in a neurodivergent world, one where 'those of us on the spectrum will always deal with loneliness and alienation.' Bowman reminds us of the role of poetry and faith in guiding us toward God and ultimately in honoring the dignity of our shared humanity."
--Karen An-hwei Lee, author of The Maze of Transparencies and Phyla of Joy
"This is an illuminating, challenging, and deeply human book that we all need to read in order to truly embody solidarity. We need to read stories of neurodiversity from those who embody those stories best, and Bowman's book is a great place to start the journey."
--Kaitlin B. Curtice, author of Native
"I can only imagine how many people will read Bowman's moving memoir and feel like someone finally sees them. But for neurotypical readers like me, Bowman invites us to see our neighbors afresh. This book itself is one of the gifts of neurodivergence, adding to this teeming, diverse creation in which God takes delight."
--James K. A. Smith, professor, Calvin University; editor in chief of Image Journal; author of On the Road with Saint Augustine
