A playful guide to understanding the ways of ‘normal people’, The Autist’s Guide to the Galaxy flips our usual scripts about neurodiversity.Following on from her internationally successful memoir, The Autists, Clara Törnvall has written a fun, comprehensive, and accessible explanation of neurotypical, or ‘normal’, behaviour. Full of facts, tips, and tests, and developed with input from other autists, this book places the difficulties autists face in the context of a world built for the neurotypical majority. It will help neurodiverse people — and their families, friends, and loved ones — navigate this world, nurture stronger relationships, and thrive.

‘Clara Törnvall’s cheeky, illuminating social manual The Autist’s Guide to the Galaxy turns the tables on autism conversations by focusing on how to engage with neurotypical people … Because articles about neurodiversity are often penned by non-autists — sometimes with the implicit directive to “help” those with diagnoses conform themselves more to the rest of the world — Swedish author, producer, and autist Törnvall steps in with lighthearted realism … With its tips to help autists thrive, The Autist’s Guide to the Galaxy is an encouraging, entertaining overview of common social challenges.’
