The Autistic Guide to Communicating and Connecting by Niamh Garvey

"Autistic people communicate differently to non-autistic people, but that does not equate to communicating "wrong"."

Written by autistic author Niamh Garvey, this book combines up-to-date research and lived experience perspectives to create the ultimate guide to supporting your autistic social self in hectic, everyday life.

Split into three parts that cover communication, socialising and strategies for specific social situations, this book covers everything you need to understand your communication style and helps you to explore your own social comfort zone, which looks different for everyone!

This guide is supportive, affirming and packed full of strategies on how you can support yourself and manage daily social situations, from restaurants to interviews.

Another great book from Niamh, packed full of insights and strategies on communication and socialising for autistic people and those who support themThe Six Step Social Plan is a piece of genius for every autistic venturing forth on a night out! -- Sarah Hendrickx, author of Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum.
A must-read for autistics and non-autistics alike, Niamh's book represents a strong, welcoming, and carefully-constructed bridge - spanning the communication gap that can too easily divide us. While based on a mountain of research, there are wonderful anecdotes in there too. -- Katy Elphinstone, author of How to Raise Happy Neurofabulous Children
All forms of communication and connection are explored, and all expressions of autism are included in this remarkable new resource. The descriptions, especially the 'reasonable adaptations', are based on an extensive review of the research literature and the experiences of the author and autistic individuals. -- Tony Attwood
