Title: Must for Autistic Older Teens
Review: Information is simple and age appropriate without talking down to autistic young adults. References to ‘work’ and ‘school’ keep it from sounding condescending. Much of the information assumes that the student is or will be living independently or in a group setting. My 17yo student has yet to ask, ” Is this a baby book?” I and my student are very pleased with this book.

Title: GREAT BOOK BUT GET RID OF THE FORWARD!!
Review: This is a wonderful resource for navigating life skills, not just for autistic people, but for everyone in general! Includes communication, healthy, safety, hygiene, planning for the day and other situations, getting help when you need it, community needs, etc. I love the charts and hands on graphics to plan things out and have a reference to go back to that is personal for each persons needs.HOWEVER, the forward written in this book by Judith Newman NEEDS TO GO! I ripped it out before even giving it to my son. I couldn’t imagine being handed a book to help me out and the second paragraph into it speaks so demeaningly about the skills I struggle with. These comments are ableist and rude!

Title: Very helpful
Review: I use this workbook to lead conversation in therapy sessions. It is very helpful and the topics were created specifically for teens and young adults diagnosed with ASD.

Title: Not really for high functioning ASD
Review: This book is OK but it doesn’t really work for my higher functioning clients. Was hoping there would be more about transition out of high school and whats next.

Review: I needed a book that had clear concrete directions on how someone with ASD can learn independent living skills. This is the exact book for that purpose. It was exactly what I needed. I looked at one other book, but it was too complicated with too much narrative. This met my need perfectly and I recommended it to a family I was working with.
