"This is definitely a worthwhile read for those of us on the spectrum. Not everything will work for everyone, but I think there's something for everyone in here." — Amber McLain, Librarian"This is a very clear, well-written set of life hacks to help young autistic adults with life challenges. It demystifies common issues like dealing with sensory overload, handling other people's emotions, making conversation, building close relationships, etc. One aspect I really liked is that for every challenge, there are suggestions for what one can do for oneself and what one can ask others to do (because that's not always obvious!). And pictures!" — Victoria Huhn, Educator
