Temple Grandin, Liane Holliday Willey, Anita Lesko, Stephen M. Shore, and many other Aspie mentors, offer their personal guidance on coping with the daily stressors that Aspies have identified as being the most significant, in order of urgency - anxiety, self-esteem, change, meltdowns, depression, friendship, love, and much, much more. Based on years of personal experience, this book is packed with advice from Aspie mentors who have all been there and done that!
World expert Dr. Tony Attwood rounds up each chapter with professional analysis and extensive recommendations. He includes essential information on destructive strategies that may look attractive, but that have counter-productive effects.
Including full color artwork from Aspie artists showing visually how they interpret each stressor, this is THE inspirational guide to life for young adults, the newly diagnosed, and as a life-long reference for anyone on the spectrum - written by Aspies for Aspies.

Introduction
Hello and welcome to my book this will be a personal journey in the life and times of someone on the autism spectrum, it will make you laugh, cry and hopefully make you reflect on what it is like to be Autistic.
A big thank you goes to my parents whom are also on the Autism spectrum (I will write about them later in the book). They have given me confidence, support and a sense of worth which has propelled me into doing speaker events around the UK and also given me hope for the future in terms of how they have turned out as people despite all the odds that faced them.
My parents also instilled in me the sense of right and wrong, fair play justice and the importance of being listened to and listening to others. Thankfully I wasn’t molly coddled as a child or teenager and continue not to be because their positive ethos of not feeling sorry for you, happiness and independence have always been to the highest order.
