Synopsis

Live Authentically and Function Effectively in All Areas of Your Life
In this first-of-its-kind book, Sol Smith combines current research, his personal experience as a late-diagnosed autistic adult, and lessons learned as an educator to show how you can transcend common mischaracterizations, overcome shame, and gain the skills to flourish. Sol knows that neurodivergent people often feel that nothing they have been taught relates to how they experience the world. To resolve this conflict, they try to change or mask who they are, which can cause isolation, depression, and anxiety. He advises the opposite: Understand yourself, accept yourself, and reduce conflict. Designed to help you peel away the shell of inadequacy and self-blame that often comes with neurodivergence, The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery offers the necessary tools and knowledge to function effectively at home, at work, and in the wider world.

This book (and other tools produced by Professor Sol for Autistic Adults) has been life changing for me, and I think it could do the same for others like me.

Goodreads review by Natalie on May 16, 2025

By far the most relatable walk-through-life-as-an-autistic adult — from evaluating past experiences through a different lens, to understand how one might experience day to day situations now. Helpful for further understanding myself, and others close to me. Lots of detail and explanation, without be......more
