Dr. Temple Grandin draws on her hard-won experience to deliver an essential guidebook for guiding and nurturing autistic youth. She gets to the real issues of autistic adolescents—the ones parents, teachers, and individuals on the spectrum face every day.

Topics in Autism and Adolescence include:

  • Enhancing social skills
  • Developing talents
  • Autism and driving
  • Preparing for college
  • Strategies for non-verbal teens
  • And much more!

In these helpful pages, Dr. Grandin offers do’s and don’ts, practical strategies, and try-it-now tips, all based on her insider perspective and extensive research. She argues that adolescents on the spectrum must focus on their overlooked strengths to foster their unique contributions to the world. She has packed a wealth of knowledge into this book, which also serves as an excellent reference for the parents, educators, and caregivers of autistic adolescents.

Rather than continuing to waste the singular gifts of autistics, Grandin proposes innovative approaches to educating, parenting, employing, and collaborating together.

This important book shows why the world needs every kind of mind.

Praise for the series:

"A valuable tool for both parents and educators centered on Grandin's personal experiences and her many years in the fields of autism and behavior science. This is essential for parents with an autistic child. — Library Journal, * Starred Review * for Autism and Education

"Grandin...delivers an insightful and pragmatic guide to helping autistic children thrive...she pinpoints guiding principles (high expectations yield results) and brass-tacks recommendations (strategies for teaching turn-taking or mastering basic life skills) combine to create a program that’s thoughtful and comprehensive, but not overwhelming. For educators or parents of autistic children, this will be a valuable resource." — Publishers Weekly
