Synopsis

The Ultimate Handbook for Success on the Spectrum – Written by and for Autistic People!

I feel like everyone else got a handbook with all the answers, and I never got my copy. This is a common thought among autistic people, because society is built with neurotypical people in mind—but that handbook has finally arrived. Even better, it was written by an autism activist who is on the spectrum himself.

Autistic influencer Daniel M. Jones is an expert on living well on the spectrum. No matter what you’re going through as someone with autism, Dan gets it—he’s been there. He’s here to explain everything he learned, and then some, in this instruction manual and memoir about life as an autistic person. Dan’s book is packed with actionable advice that readers can immediately start putting into practice. You’ll learn how to navigate common challenges, such as dating on the spectrum, holding down a job, or performing well in school. Best of all, you’ll learn to improve your life while also empowering yourself.

Dan’s honesty, self-awareness, and sheer knowledge of autism make for a down-to-earth and relatable read that anyone will enjoy. No matter where you are on the spectrum, you’ll love this hilarious and comprehensive guide to living an excellent life as an autistic adult.

Goodreads review by Mackenna on April 02, 2024

TLDR; Book was good if you have similar experiences to the author, but almost completely useless to every other autistic person. Not intersectional, not a guide - just an autobiography.

Goodreads review by Kate on March 30, 2024

I hate leaving bad reviews about books on topics that I think need better representation, but I really didn’t get anything from this book. I’m autistic and felt that the book was extremely simplistic both in writing style and content, and fell short of providing any substantive advice. I almost didn......more

Goodreads review by Jacinta on September 11, 2023

Daniel Jones presents Autism in an easy to read format for adults who have it, from the perspective of one. He starts each chapter sharing a pertinent experience, how he learned from it, and hacks that those on the spectrum could benefit from. This book is presented for Adults on the spectrum, but I......more
