Bringing Awareness for Adult Autism Spectrum

This is such a wonderful book! I appreciate that the author is bringing awareness to the subject of Autism in adults, and emphasizes that it is simply a different brain structure with different gifts & talents, not a detriment. I also appreciate that this book is educational in nature, especially for those who need more understanding of what autism is, and have family members who possess autistic quality traits. It's so graceful that it states many adults have not been properly diagnosed until later stages of life, and this helps shed some light for family members and/or diagnosed adult! If you have autism/autistic traits, this is not something to be ashamed about, but rather to embrace as a strength quality. I highly recommend this book!

Insightful Guide for Adults with Autism

This book offers a clear, step-by-step approach to navigating the complexities of adult autism. The material is well-organized, focusing on real-world issues like relationships, work, and finding resources, all while highlighting the strengths that often come with autism. I appreciated how straightforward and practical the advice is—it's not overly technical but still deeply informative. Whether you’re new to the topic or looking for more insight, this guide is a valuable resource.

Very supportive

This audiobook is a guide for adults on the autism spectrum, offering practical advice to help you navigate different areas of life. It covers relationships, work life, and finding resources in a way that acknowledges your unique strengths. The author emphasizes understanding and celebrating the traits that make you who you are while offering clear steps to overcome challenges. It’s not just about coping but thriving, with tips on improving communication, building meaningful connections, and finding success in your professional life.

Help for those who need the info

Finding help and getting a diagnosis as an adult with autism can be SO difficult, that is, if you don’t know where to look. However, Jason Jones lays down the foundational understandings for everything one could want to know about navigating the world through the lens of an adult with autism. I particularly love the stuff on sensory overload as this can be an area of extreme difficulty. I love how there are personal accounts of people that have autism so that the listener can relate, and as someone who has stimmed their whole life and shown a ton of autistic traits and not really known why, it is liberating and exciting even to know that I am not alone. The personal accounts really hit home in this area.

Great Guide!

For anyone seeking guidance on living with autism as an adult, this book is a highly recommended resource. Everything from creating a sensory diet to negotiating social situations to even making cooking more autism-friendly was covered in the book, which was really beneficial to me. I really like that the book offers specific steps at each stage for autistic adults.

Extremely Helpful, Highly Recommended!

This audiobook has been eyeopening and fantastic. It covers everything from navigating tricky social situations to managing work challenges, all in a way that makes sense.

Good guide to understand Autism

As someone with ADHD and a close friend on the autism spectrum, I picked up this book to better understand executive dysfunction and sensory overload. It was a relief to find such practical, well-explained advice. The book covered everything from crafting a sensory diet to navigating social interactions, and even making cooking more autism-friendly—which I found incredibly helpful. While I appreciated the diverse examples, I wish the author had used more identity-first language and explored certain topics in more depth. Overall, it's a fantastic resource for anyone looking to learn more.

Great Life skills book for autistic adults!

This book provides great skills for navigating various aspects of life from social and financial skills, to networking and cooking. I really like that the book offers specific steps at each stage for autistic adults, while also emphasizing that everyone on the spectrum (and every human) is unique. The book brings the autism community together to help foster understanding and help bring success within the community and also within the neurotypical world. It discusses how to ask for small accommodations that improve life for everyone involved.

The answer is to become educated and this book is a great place to start learning strategies and becoming educated on what you can do.
