These people have long remained invisible… They are overlooked by the system and even some specialists do not recognize them. They receive a diagnosis in adulthood or do not receive one at all, face social misunderstanding, mask themselves, burnout, experience difficulties in relationships, learning, work, and attempts to obtain psychological or psychiatric help.
So who is this about? About autistic adults.
This book is not just a retelling of someone else's concept. It combines the personal experiences of autistic individuals (a study involving nearly 500 people – patients of Neformat) and the experiences of specialists in ASD.
An empathetic survival guide in a world that is not tailored for neurodivergence.
Autistic adults will finally find answers to their troubling questions and stop going from doctor to doctor.
Relatives will understand how autism can manifest in everyday life and how they can help their neurotypical loved ones.
Psychologists, psychiatrists, and educators will receive the perfect guide to rely on when working with autistic individuals.
