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.

Great info that is well laid out
This book really clarified the DSM IV criteria for me. It’s an excellent and much-needed resource to counterbalance outdated perspectives of autism that many medical and mental health professionals and the general public still have, and the challenges and barriers many people face to getting a formal diagnosis. Highly recommend.

A great read for clinicians and the general population
I enjoyed this review of autism. It helped me understand better the internal experience of a person on the spectrum in order to understand and diagnose. I very much enjoyed hearing from the experts who are people with autism.
