An Autistic Perspective

This is a short, easy-to-read book, part of the An Autistic Perspective series. This book on Tips for Autistic Individuals & Others in Their Lives, focuses on offering helpful tips specifically for fellow autistic people, both diagnosed and undiagnosed and those in the life of the autistic individuals, like friends, partners and employers.

Areas covered in this book for autistic individuals include:

• Tips and strategies for how to calm your emotions
• Developing social communication skills
• Finding and keeping friends
• Understanding how others think and feel
• Tackling bullying and discrimination
• Dating and relationships
• Managing shopping and restaurants
• Navigating the challenges of public transport
• Interview skills, knowledge and tips

Additional areas covered in this book include:

• Friends with autistic individuals
• In a romantic relationship with an autistic individual

My hope is that this book is as helpful as possible for autistic people as well as supporting those around them in best interacting and understanding their autistic friend, partner, colleague or employee.
