By: Casey "Remrov" Vormer

Narrated by: Liam Gerrard

For a friend, family member, or coworker with autism, communication can be challenging. But Connecting with the Autism Spectrum can help you find common ground with expert tips and helpful insights about talking (and listening) to neurodiverse adults so you can make your interactions more transparent, meaningful, and rewarding for all.

This comprehensive guide is a trusted source for understanding neurodiversity that features a brief introduction to the autism spectrum. It also provides easy communication strategies like active listening and positive encouragement as well as steps to avoid misunderstandings by teaching how to recognize biases and correct them.

Unlike other autism books, Connecting with the Autism Spectrum delivers:

• An easy approach: Discover the best ways to communicate with those living with autism.
• Situational success: Find the right information for various situations and settings, including school, work, and social relationships.
• A sensitive tone: Get valuable information from a clear, honest point of view that does not seek to "cure" or manipulate.

Learn how to communicate better with those on the autism spectrum with this informative book.

Connecting with the autism spectrum

I love this book. It was so greatly needed in explaining the difficulty experienced by autistic individuals l. Wonderful accurate information! Thank you so much!

best book on autism I've read so far

this is the best explanation of autism and its traits that I've read so far. it has useful tips and creative methods of communicating so that we can all embrace neurodiversity together.

Wow!

This book helped me truly understand my 11 year old son! So helpful, thank you.

Useful

Short, but it's always helpful to better understand the needs of other people. Some recommended accommodations seem broadly useful for many people.

Written by someone who is autistic

Very interesting and informative reading experience. I really enjoyed the write up as well as the reader.

Helpful

Wow there is so much I don’t know and this has helped me understand my Son sooo much more. Thanks Casey for sharing so I can understand more better!

Great advice and unique perspective!

I really liked being able to see all of the little details through the eyes of a neurodivergent individual. I am an autism teacher and it gave me a lot of insight into what my students may be going through that I wouldn’t understand otherwise, and how I can be a better teacher. To the author, thank you for taking on this endeavor. The more we can learn about each other, the better we can bridge the divide of neurotypical and neurodiversity thinking.

I learned a lot

This was good. Very informative 👏 👌 would recommend to others. Happy with my purchase

Good Resource for Neurotypicals

This is a good starting place for anyone who is looking to understand how to relate and connect better with autistic individuals. Just make sure you don’t stop here! Performance-wise, I found the narrator hard to understand at times, so I would suggest reading the book vs. listening to the audiobook.
