The Ultimate Handbook for Success on the Spectrum – Written by and for Autistic People!

I feel like everyone else got a handbook with all the answers, and I never got my copy. This is a common thought among autistic people, because society is built with neurotypical people in mind—but that handbook has finally arrived. Even better, it was written by an autism activist who is on the spectrum himself.

Autistic influencer Daniel M. Jones is an expert on living well on the spectrum. No matter what you’re going through as someone with autism, Dan gets it—he’s been there. He’s here to explain everything he learned, and then some, in this instruction manual and memoir about life as an autistic person. Dan’s book is packed with actionable advice that readers can immediately start putting into practice. You’ll learn how to navigate common challenges, such as dating on the spectrum, holding down a job, or performing well in school. Best of all, you’ll learn to improve your life while also empowering yourself.

Dan’s honesty, self-awareness, and sheer knowledge of autism make for a down-to-earth and relatable read that anyone will enjoy. No matter where you are on the spectrum, you’ll love this hilarious and comprehensive guide to living an excellent life as an autistic adult.

actual tips to apply to life as an autistic adult

very helpful on a variety of topics. straightforward and plenty of real world examples and solutions to common problems encountered while going through life as an autistic adult in a neutotypical world

Very helpful.

I’m in the process of confirming my suspicion that I am autistic, and in my research I found this book. It was very helpful to me.

Autism for Adults: Here’s a bunch of stories about being a kid

Most of the book relates to being in elementary or high school and about 25% from working as an adult. Includes tips for getting through the school day and taking notes in class. I wasn’t very engaged by the content.

Fantastic book

I learned so much. I also love his YouTube channel TAW. I think that’s what it’s called. Anyway the book is really interesting and my favorite parts were the actionable items at the end of each chapter and the glossary at the end. Everyone who’s autistic or who knows someone autistic probably should read this book. 10/10!
