The Autism FAQ: Everything You Wanted to Know About Diagnosis & Autistic Life
This guide to life on the autism spectrum is a must-read for autistic adults, their friends, coworkers, partners, and parents—and for anyone who wants to understand the experiences of many people they meet every day. Joe Biel, who was diagnosed as an adult, joined by the bestselling Dr. Faith G. Harper who speaks from her experience as a parent, friend, and therapist, share real talk about the diagnostic criteria for autism, what it means for autism to be a disability, and co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety. They answer many frequently asked questions from neurotypicals, and offer some basic life and social skills that the world doesn't always think to explicitly teach autistic folks. Most of all, they affirm the many strengths of the autistic brain.
