Autism in Adults (Overcoming Common Problems) by Luke Beardon

Autism in Adults (Overcoming Common Problems) by Dr Luke Beardon offers a considered perspective on autism and how it is understood. It is part of the Overcoming Common Problems series.

Synopsis

Written for those who have been diagnosed with ASD, suspect they may be autistic, or are close to someone on the spectrum, this book challenges the framing of autism as a “disorder” or “impairment”. Dr Luke Beardon encourages readers to rethink what they feel and what they believe about being autistic, including how autism can affect individuals and what a diagnosis may, or may not, provide.

Alongside myth-busting and a clear dismantling of stereotypes around communication, social interaction and relationships, it also offers practical guidance for undiagnosed adults navigating everyday life. Topics include school, work, study and parenthood, as well as understanding what can happen when autistic people break the law.
