"Counseling Adults with Autism is a spectacular resource for mental health professionals working with this population. Dr. Cunningham Abbott succeeds in bringing together the latest developments in evidence-based strategies on assessment, treatment, and even advocacy recommendations for clients diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is a must read for anyone seeking to make a difference in the lives of their ASD clients!"—Jon Sperry, PhD, co-editor of The Journal of IndividualPsychology and associate professor of clinical mental health counseling at Lynn University"This book is coming out at the perfect time! Persons with ASD are now more immersed than ever in the community and increasingly capable. Many do not present as a person with disabilities, but often have specific mental health needs that need to be addressed. Mental health professionals who work with adults with autism are seeking evidence-based resources to help address these needs. I believe this book will be the first resource a therapist turns to help their clients with ASD."—Jack Scott, PhD, BCBA-D, Executive Director of the Florida Atlantic University Center for Autism & Related Disabilities
