What to expect
Sometimes the modern world isn't well designed for autistic people, and how we experience things differently. This friendly, illustrated book is packed with simple ideas to help with everyday autistic life, like big feelings, busy senses, school days, meltdowns, and changes to your routine.
There's no "right" or "wrong" way to be autistic, and this book isn't about changing who you are.
It's about figuring out what helps you feel calmer, more confident, and more in control.
