Autism & Adolescence—The Way I See It

Temple Grandin draws on her own experience to deliver an essential guidebook for guiding and nurturing autistic youth. She gets to the REAL issues of autistic adolescents—the ones parents, teachers, and individuals on the spectrum face every day.

Topics include:

• Strategies for non-verbal teens
• Autism and driving
• Preparing for college
• Acquiring social skills
• Developing talents
• And much more!

In these helpful pages, Dr. Grandin offers do’s and don’ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective and extensive research. Interestingly, she argues that adolescents on the autism spectrum must focus on their overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions to the world.
