Product Description
Product Description
Marc Fleisher's new self-help guide for autistic teenagers and adults will help readers improve their quality of life and overcome many everyday challenges, be it through the acquisition of independent living skills, developing a more varied and fulfilling social life, or mastering a course in higher education and broadening one's opportunities for the future. Marc Fleisher speaks from first hand experience about the coping strategies he himself has had to learn - often the hard way. Written particularly for young people who are just beginning to become independent from their parents, perhaps living in their own home for the first time, this book shows how to approach apparent problems with hope and the expectation of an improved quality of life. "Survival Strategies" is an invaluable source of advice and reassurance for people with ASDs across a wide age range. Other readers such as relatives and friends of people on the autism spectrum, and professionals working with them in an educational or therapeutic capacity will find it provides a host of new insights.

Format:Paperback
This is an easy book, and good for those who are new to the Autistic spectrum.
Gives an insight into how those with ASD view the world and situations within it.
I bought this for my husband to read to help him get a better understanding of why our son ( with ASD) reacts to things in a way that is sometimes difficult to understand.
