The great strides we have made in understanding childhood autistic behaviors and interventions have lagged dramatically behind the needs of aging autistics.

What is autism: a lifelong disability or a naturally occurring form of cognitive difference akin to certain forms of genius? In truth, it is both of these things and more - and the future of our society depends on our understanding it. Wired reporter Steve Silberman unearths the secret history of autism, long suppressed by the same clinicians who became famous for discovering it, and finds surprising answers to the crucial question of why the number of diagnoses has soared in recent years.

The number of illness categories listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the last 50 years. With so many people affected, it is time to revisit our perceptions on this "culture of disabilities". Best-selling author, psychologist, and educator Thomas Armstrong illuminates a new understanding of neuropsychological disorders. He argues that if they are a part of the natural diversity of the human brain, they cannot simply be defined as illnesses. Armstrong explores the evolutionary advantages, special skills, and other positive dimensions of these conditions.

With a reporter’s eye and an insider’s perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it’s like to be autistic across America. Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media’s coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn’t look anything like that.

Publisher's Summary
Adults on the autism spectrum rarely have access to services once they age out of the school system. Many therapies are simply not appropriate in terms of teaching these adults the practical skills they need to succeed in various aspects of life. Many on the spectrum struggle with forming and building relationships, finding and maintaining jobs, and managing their day-to-day lives.
Life Coaching, specifically for adults on the spectrum or anyone who considers themselves neurodivergent, can provide individuals, other coaches, parents, and professionals the tools and skills necessary to guide these amazing people to success.
One-on-one coaching can be expensive, and so this book was designed to make these methods and strategies available to everyone in an affordable and concise resource. Everyone can benefit from this self-help book, which takes you on a practical journey through building relationships from the ground up, developing a rewarding career, managing your day-to-day life effectively, and discovering your true potential.

it's a very linear approach
as a person on the spectrum, it feels like being taught to mask instead of encouragement to live a life that makes me comfortable and happy.

Patronising, ableist, self-indulgent nonsense
I had such high hopes for this book, but I had to literally force myself to listen to the whole thing to give it a fair go, and I found myself feeling angrier and more insulted with each chapter. It's hard to tell if the author genuinely wants to understand and help autistics or if she simply wants to plug her own company (which she insists on several occasions that she is not doing... perhaps the lady doth protest too much?!) and bask in the glow of self-satisfaction at how much she 'knows' about the autistic experience and how 'successful' she is - the latter seems most likely to me. Either way, the fact that she herself is not autistic is blatantly apparent.
There were a couple of interesting points from the perspective of the autistic reader - the mechanics of small talk and the concept of a 'friendship pyramid' being examples - but on the whole this book was a weird mish-mash of overly detailed descriptions of certain life events eg. literally every single step of the process of going abroad or talking to another person at a shop/bus-stop etc., gross-oversimplification of certain autistic difficulties eg. eye-contact: 'remember to look at people so you can tell what they're feeling!' (implying that autistics simply 'forget' to look at people, and if we remember to do it we'll magically be able to decipher all the hidden meanings and feelings of the other person, and not have any issues with the actual sensory sensations that make it so uncomfortable and overwhelming in the first place!), and a load of ableist nonsense designed to encourage the neurotypicals in the autist's life to essentially step back and let the professionals 'fix' the autistic person. Who is this book even for? It's as if she's trying to explain things to an autistic person in one moment, but then suddenly addressing the neurotypicals as if the autistic people were no longer there and are too 'slow' to realise what's being said about them.
The final straw for me was during the conclusion at the end where the author rather confidently and self-assuredly announced, with no hint of awareness of how insulting it was, that 'autism is a mental health disorder that needs therapeutic and drug treatments to 'fix' it, so that neurotypicals can benefit from all the wonderful things autistic people have to offer'.
(Please note I've paraphrased any quotes I've put, but the basic gist of the words are the same)
In terms of the audio side of things, the narrator spoke with an patronising, smug, overly optimistic tone throughout, akin to someone cheerfully saying 'You have depression? Just pop outside for a nice little stroll around the neighbourhood in the sun. Don't forget to smile at all the people you see! Congratulations, you're no longer depressed!!!' There was also a dog yapping in the background for several minutes of part of the audio (during the section about airports, if my memory serves me well). This is not acceptable in ANY circumstance with an audiobook recording, let alone one apparently aimed at autistic people to show how well the author 'understands' such people!
There are so many other things that irritated and offended me throughout this book but they've all blended into one giant clump of irritation for me now, and I can't bear to trawl back through any more of the specifics.
As I said at the start, I had such high hopes for this book as the title suggested it might be the answer to a life's worth of questions... but all it did was prove just how far society still has to go in order to truly understand and accept each other's differences. Other people may hold a different view (mainly neurotypicals who don't know any different, I'd assume!) but I personally wish I'd never read it.
