Autism adulthood : strategies and insights for a fulfilling life / Susan Senator.
"Autism Adulthood features thirty interviews with autistic adults, their parents, caregivers, researchers, and professionals. Each vignette reveals firsthand a family's challenge, their circumstances, their thought processes, and their unique solutions, and plans of action. Sharing the wisdom that emerges from parents and self-advocates experiences, Senator adds her own observations and conclusions based on her long-term experience with autism. Told in Senators trademark warm, honest, and approachable style, Autism Adulthood paints a vivid and thought-provoking picture of many people grappling with grown-up, real-life autism. Senators is the only book of its kind, as real families share their stories and their creative solutions,"--Amazon.com.
