A definitive guide to understanding those on the autism spectrum so you can make meaningful connections.


Do you work with people who are on the autism spectrum, and you want to find ways to connect with them? Are you worried that your lack of understanding of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is causing issues in relationships with your friends, family, or coworkers? Do you suspect someone you are close to may have ASD and you want to better understand what they deal with on a daily basis? If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you have come to the right place.


By understanding the neurodivergent or atypical brain and finding ways to better support those with autism, we can begin to change this. And this book will tell you how to do just that. In this guide, you will discover:


  • A look at neurotypical and neurodivergent brains, and how it is important to understand "normal" as a subjective term
  • What ableism is, and why negative attitudes toward ASD cause those on the spectrum to feel like they need to mask or camouflage their true selves
  • A look at the 8 senses (yes, 8!) and how the neurodiverse brain may deal with sensory overload on a regular basis
  • Communication difficulties of those with ASD, and strategies for communicating thoughtfully and effectively with atypical individuals
  • The struggles of living in a neurotypical world when you have a neurodivergent brain - and the mental health struggles this can cause
  • Why people on the spectrum sometimes get stuck in black-and-white thinking, and how to break free of the cognitive distortions that cause this way of thinking
  • Common executive functioning issues with ASD (like time management and impulsivity), and proven ways to help in these areas
  • The steps to getting a diagnosis if you think you may be on the spectrum


And much more.


Living with autism doesn't mean living away from society.
