About this ebook

"A must-read for adults with autism."

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh, author of Independent Living with Autism

Independent adult life is hard. Add the challenges that come with neurodiversity, and adulting can feel nearly impossible—unless you've got the right tools.

As a young person with autism, Ron Sandison navigated into independent adult life through painful trial and error. But with perseverance he found his own path to success, earning a master's degree, building a family, and enjoying a career in the medical field and academia.

In Adulting on the Spectrum, he empowers you with the lessons he's learned, such as how to

- build and maintain friendships

- have a healthy and hygienic lifestyle

- avoid the pitfalls of dating

- manage emotions and sensory issues

Filled with inspiring accounts from individuals with autism who have achieved their goals and with Ron's faith journey sprinkled throughout, this unique and realistic guide features easy-to-follow instructional teaching, reflective questions, and fun activities. It is designed to ease the transition to adulthood and help manage the nuanced aspects of life with autism.
