Survival Strategies for People on the Autism Spectrum by Marc Fleisher

Survival Strategies for People on the Autism Spectrum by Marc Fleisher

Marc Fleisher's new self-help guide for autistic teenagers and adults will help readers improve their quality of life and overcome many everyday challenges, be it through the development of independent living skills, building a more varied and fulfilling social life, or mastering a course in higher education and broadening one's opportunities for the future. Marc Fleisher speaks from first hand experience about the coping strategies he himself has had to learn - often the hard way. Written particularly for young people who are just beginning to become independent from their parents, perhaps living in their own home for the first time, this book shows how to approach apparent problems with hope and the expectation of an improved quality of life. Survival Strategies is an invaluable source of advice and reassurance for people with ASDs across a wide age range. Other readers such as relatives and friends of people on the autism spectrum, and professionals such as educators or therapists will find it provides a host of new insights.

Fleisher's story is one of a highly intelligent young man-who has managed to overcome or at least mitigate some of the disabling aspects of his conditionFleisher speaks from within his condition and the message of hope he gives in being able to make progress towards a richer, more fulfilled and less frightened existence. -- Young People Now
