This awesome guide provides practical tips and guidance on how autistic young people can form positive friendships and understand all the relationships in their lives!
Let's face it, other humans can be difficult to understand sometimes!
There is no need to worry! Yenn, Tanya and a tiny meerkat called Min are here to help you find out everything you need to know about friendships, improving relationships with your family members, and how to deal with disagreements that can arise with the people in your life.
Answering the difficult questions like 'What makes a good friend?' and 'Why do adults tell me to do things?' this book gives you helpful tips, tricks, and advice you need to help you understand other humans whilst staying true to your own awesome autistic self!
The Awesome Autistic Guide to Other Humans explores both the good things and the hard things about our relationships with other humans, from friends to family members to new people. It gives simple tips to dealing with some of the harder things for autistic people, such as conflict and safeguarding ourselves from being hurt, while also celebrating how wonderful true friendships can be. A really lovely book to grow your confidence in making friends. -- Niamh Garvey, Author of Looking After Your Autistic Self
Humans! We are a complex bunch. We all have to live together on one small planet and that is not always easy. The Awesome Autistic Guide to Other Humans is a deceptively simple little book that, if followed, could bring harmony amongst autistic and neurotypical family and friends, and who knows could spread throughout the world. World Peace for Humans! Now wouldn't that be something! -- Kathy Hoopman, author of the All About series
Insightful, funny, relatable and inclusive. This book about humans, friendships and being autistic or not, is a very helpful guide to working out non-romantic human relationships. It also includes easy activities cementing our learning. Meet Min and travel on this journey together. -- Dr. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD)
