"Marc Fleisher's new self-help guide for autistic teenagers and adults
will help readers improve their quality of life and overcome many
everyday challenges, be it through the development of independent living
skills, building a more varied and fulfilling social life, or mastering a
course in higher education and broadening one's opportunities for the
future.
Marc Fleisher speaks from first hand experience about the coping
strategies he himself has had to learn - often the hard way. Written
particularly for young people who are just beginning to become
independent from their parents, perhaps living in their own home for the
first time, this book shows how to approach apparent problems with hope
and the expectation of an improved quality of life."
