Autism for Adults: An Approachable Guide to Living Excellently on the Spectrum by Daniel Jones

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

With the ease of an older brother speaking to a younger sibling, Daniel M. Jones has made an approachable audiobook about the subject of level 1 autism with clear passages and humorous digressions. However, I think that this book should have been named "Autism for Young Adults" and geared specifically for those in high school or just getting out of college. This is because some of his advice might feel extremely reductive to more mature adults who've read more books here and there, and more direct, succinct advice might be more welcome to a younger audience. In essence, when listening to the audiobook, it felt like listening to a series of videos he might have done on his YouTube channel, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Overall, if you want a fast-paced read about the subject, I'd recommend it, but this wouldn't be the only book you need.
