Autistic people are unfortunately two times more likely to experience problems with addiction. From alcohol and substance abuse to gambling and gaming, autistic people often use their addictive behaviours to manage autistic traits such as sensory sensitivities, emotional regulation challenges and social isolation. While it can work initially, it eventually leads to additional problems and stress.This practical workbook, which can be used alongside a trusted friend or professional, explores the role autism can play in addiction. Through psychoeducation, structured reflection and therapeutic exercises, it helps readers gain a clearer understanding of their pattern of substance use and develop practical strategies to regain control over their lives. With helpful exercises, accessible explanations, and additional worksheets, this guide is essential for any autistic person worried about developing or seeking help to manage addictive behaviours.
