The Young Autistic Adult's Independence Handbook

A one-stop guide to independent living on the spectrum, this practical book makes transitions (like moving job or home) more manageable and less daunting. The book features clear guidance on key issues, such as managing money, the job hiring process and the importance of mental health and self-care, as well as including interviews with others who've gone through it all before.

Are you living away from home for the first time, graduating from school or perhaps getting a new job? These transitions can be especially overwhelming to deal with as a young autistic adult. This survival guide is bursting with neurodivergent-friendly advice from autistic people themselves (and a few neurotypicals too) for young adults embarking on their own journeys of self-discovery and independence. From guidance on organising your own money, looking after your home and organising your social life to tips on self-advocacy and important life skills such as driving, voting and volunteering, Haley Moss has you covered.

Using personal stories, interviews with experts and tips from other young people, this book gives you tips and tools to boost your confidence, ready to make your mark on the world!
