Adults with Autism

A Guide to Diagnosis, Inner-Acceptance and Prosperity

By: Una Cuthbert

Adults who have been undiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often face a daily struggle but remain unaware there is a way to make life better.

This audiobook explains the process of autism diagnosis, answering the questions that follow:

• And much more.

All the above questions are answered in this audiobook through a former patient's personal account after being diagnosed with autism. Containing humorous anecdotes and stories, this audiobook provides an alternative perspective of looking at autism spectrum disorder.

Here's what you're going to discover in this audiobook:

• Practical strategies to reduce stress and maximize progress.
• Tactics to assess everyday thoughts and patterns that are disruptive.
• Road maps and mind-sets to navigate daily life.
• Strategies for improving communication, social skills, and making friends.

The experiences in this audiobook highlight the reflections of a man coming to peace with his diagnosis and how this was his path to serenity.

Great for those who are ASD questioning.

This is a great listen for adults who are either questioning about themselves possibly being autistic or if they have been diagnosed and are researching the basic details of their diagnosis. Great information. And although I prefer to listen to books at 1.4 speed, It was intelligable and easy to listen to the narration.

More of a memoir than a how-to booj

This was a decent exploration of an individual's experience of autism, and valuable as such because when you receive a late-life diagnosis as I have, you need to read up on all manner of manifestations of it. But a word of caution - the author's first name, Una, struck me as female, and since I have learned that men and women manifest autism quite differently, I am most interested in the female perspective. Also, the author's parents were very intuitive about helping their son navigate his autistic ways despite never knowing about autism at the time, so the author had a head-start that most late-life autistics are not blessed with, so his perspective is less typical, I imagine.

Great

loved it....so so so relavant in understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder in today 's world yet.

Good information, difficult to hear

This is a fair top-level overview, although like most resources for autistic adults, much of the cited research has to do with autistic children. It can be helpful, but I was hoping for more adult resources. Also, some things didn't translate well from text to speech for me, such as the phrase, "we'll get to that." I thought the narrator's voice was very soft and their s's sounded like f's. I found that trying to follow their diction was distracting from the content.

Not Neuro Affirming

I could not get far on this book before I noticed a very non neuro affirmative voice. She literally said there was not point in diagnosis and if you were a successful adult to just keep doing what you are doing…. Meaning just keep masking???? At the very high cost of living an over stressed life?

Terrible…. Don’t waste your time with this one.
