This is good, short guide to life as an autistic person. Probably best for younger, newly diagnosed readers but also opportunities for reflection included so can be adapted to any age. Appreciated that it was written from a positive, lived-experience perspective. Helped my 12 year old.

The kind of language in this book was more focused on the teen audience than young adults, but it was still very helpful. Especially if you're like me, who has been diagnosed recently and doesn't know that much about life with autism. Super light and quick read, I recommend it :]

This is a must read for any parent with autistic children - with the view to giving it to them to read. I only read this book this morning (in one sitting - very short and succinct!) and it was just absolutely brilliant. It probably goes without saying that it was very on-point - not at all surprising given it is written by two autistic authors.
It simplifies the complexity of this neurotype whilst empowering the reader for their own self-acceptance and celebration of their awesome 'awetistic' selves.
The is only small (which is a good thing for the kidlets reading!) and describes what autism is and is NOT. It also covers the different ways that awetistic people can experience things like noise, foods, smells, as well as friendships, shut downs, melt downs and simple strategies to help with common challenges across these areas.
