“What Did I Do Wrong?”: An Accessible Guide to Preventing Traumatic Misunderstandings Between You and Your Autistic Loved One

By Jaime A. Heidel
Why we recommend this book:
  • Clearly written, by a beautiful AuDHD mind
  • Consistent format, with each scenario getting exactly one page
  • There’s no need to read front-to-back – look up the challenge scenario you need, and read about why misunderstandings happen, and what to do about them

The Asperkid’s (Secret) Book of Social Rules

By Jennifer Cook
Why we recommend this book:
  • Clearly written for teens and young adults
  • Includes illustrations and examples that help keep it relevant and interesting
  • Highly recommended, including by Temple Grandin, who said: “When I was a teen, I was bullied in school and called names. If this book had been available, my teenage years would have been less difficult.”
