About this listen
Are you an autistic adult? Do you love, live or work with an autistic adult? The incredible insights and practical strategies in this audiobook will diminish your stress and anxiety if you are autistic and will help your autistic loved one or colleague live well, flourish and thrive if you can improve and adjust their environment if you aren't.
One of the biggest challenges if you are an autistic adult (or suspect you might be) is navigating the situations that to the predominantly neurotypical population might appear completely benign but cause you huge stress, anxiety and worry.
At work, at university, in social situations, in friendships, relationships, in shops, in unfamiliar environments - there are a wealth of things that can make you feel overwhelmed if the world is full of things that you feel nobody else notices but that cause you huge distress.
Dr Luke Beardon has put together an optimistic and upbeat guide that will be essential listening not just for any autistic adult, but for anyone who loves, lives with or works with an autistic person. Emphasising that autism is not behaviour, but at the same time acknowledging that there are risks of increased anxiety specific to autism, this practical audiobook gives clear strategies that the autistic person can adopt to minimise their anxiety and live comfortably in a world full of what may seem to be noise and chaos.
At the same time, Avoiding Anxiety in Autistic Adults gives clear guidelines and mission statements to those who live or work with autistic people that they, too, can implement to accommodate needs that are different to their own, taking a radical new step towards a genuinely inclusive world in which autistic people don't just survive, but in which they thrive.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

However, it was actually about the environmental factors that affect autistics and make everyday life harder for them. It read like an academic paper on these factors and felt like it was aimed more at nurotypical people and how they should improve things.
It was well written and I think if you are new to autism and/or don't have an understanding of how external factors have negative effects on your autism then this is the book for you.
If you already know loud noises are difficult to deal with, change is a struggle etc then I don't think it is as helpful.
