This was brilliant and packed full of really useful advice and tips for managing and working with your autism, instead of against it. I enjoyed how the advice was highlighted by the authors own experiences, and that it was drawn mostly from peer reviewed studies which are mentioned throughout the book. I'd definitely recommend this to any autistic, whether recently diagnosed (like me) or not. It might also be useful for those with an autistic loved one as it definitely provides really good explanations as to why the autistic brain works the way it does and the developmental differences between autistic and non-autistic brains. It was really affirming to understand the reasons behind my own struggles and have appropriate language to use to try and help my own loved ones understand.

i usually dont gravitate toward self help books, but i found that this one had a lot of legitimately useful information. my only gripe is that sometimes it didnt feel like it was for adults
