About this listen

 Discover the ultimate handbook for success on the autistic spectrum written from lived experience."I feel like everyone else got a handbook with all the answers, and I never got my copy." This is a common thought among autistic adults, because society is built with neurotypical people in mind-but that handbook has finally arrived. Even better, it was written by an autism activist who is on the spectrum himself. Autistic influencer Daniel Jones is an expert on living well on the spectrum. No matter what you're going through as someone with autism, Dan gets it-he's been there. And now he's ready to impart everything he's learned (and then some!) in this part guide, part memoir about life as an autistic person. Autism for Adults is packed with actionable advice that you can immediately start putting into practice. You'll learn how: - your mind works differently from your neurotypical peers to navigate common challenges, such as dating on the spectrum, holding down a job or performing well in school - to manage symptoms without becoming burned out to improve your life while also empowering yourself- And much more!Dan's honesty, self-awareness and sheer knowledge of autism make for a down-to-earth and relatable listen that anyone will enjoy. No matter where you are on the spectrum, you'll love this hilarious and comprehensive guide to living an excellent life as an autistic adult.

This was mainly basic information for autistic people. It covers some biographical information from the author too. The problem with the book was that the information was very basic, so basic that it is not only more appropriate for teenagers, it might also be even too simple. I will say it may be eye opening for the non-autistic parent.

There were some small pieces of information that were interesting or helpful in the later half of the book that I was not aware of such as disabled people being targets for scams, utility companies giving alerts for outages, sensory times for shopping, sensory tips for work, and using special interests during autistic breakdowns. While these are interesting and good for a non-autistic parent to know, it's very basic stuff that an autistic person would know of by the time they are an adult.

Basic Information for Autistic Teens, Maybe Even More Basic than that
