About this listen

Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits.

The authors take the listener step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Listeners will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking.

This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism.

I loved this book. As a newly and late diagnosed autistic woman I have learnt so much from listening to this wonderful book. It is packed full of useful information whilst keeping a kind and compassionate tone. Thank you for writing it Sarah and Co.

The book starts off a little slowly in my opinion - there’s a lot of backstory and caveating. However, once it gets going it is an absolute goldmine of information. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
