The late teens and twenties are exciting times, but filled with potential pitfalls as young people navigate the transition into independent adult life.

This handbook is filled with the information that young people with ASD say they want (and need) to know about alcohol and drugs, social media and online safety, relationship types and boundaries, safe sex, stress and emotional health, and independent living. It includes real life examples, coping strategies and practical tips to help young adults with ASD stay safe while living life to the full.

Informal and frank, this will be a go-to guide for young people on the autism spectrum.

Editorial Reviews

Review

The authors are respectful and informative in explaining concepts that may be socially confusing and cloaked in non-verbal cues for young adults on the spectrum. This manual fills a gap in resources and, for that, we parents and young adults on the spectrum are grateful. -- from the foreword by Jane Thierfeld-Brown, Ed.D, Director, College Autism Spectrum, and Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale Child Study, Yale University

Sensitive and hard to discuss issues (often glossed over for individuals with ASD) such as dating, measuring the stages of relationships, sex, and drinking are covered frankly, bluntly, and thoroughly. While of the utmost importance to everyone, these tough discussions affect young adults on the spectrum differently, often times due to the awkwardness of the topic, and the social faux pas that happen during everyday spectrum living. -- from the foreword by Aaron Schatzman, young adult with ASD

Book Description

A guide to help young adults on the autism spectrum enjoy adult life safely.

Yep, its the essential guide to college life for people with autism. I have high-functioning autism though and I didn't encounter that many new ideas for me in this text. It cements what I already know and I realize this will help others who haven't really learned it yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for any young adult
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019
My son is 16 and on the spectrum. I saw this book in his therapist's office, and literally could not put it down. Everything you just learn through trial and error, is in this book in a very easy to ready manner. I honestly think that I myself could've used this book as a young adult. Just simple things, like being safe while using an ATM. Amazing and bravo to the author.

This guide is a "must read" for any young adult on the spectrum. It answers many questions you always wanted to know, but didn't know who or how to ask. Loaded with practical tips and "scripts," this book would benefit ALL young adults--autism or not. Comprehensive and HUGELY important.
