About this title

Synopsis

In You, Me, and Autism, autistic scholar Phoebe Jordan elegantly combines her personal experiences and academic research to create a unique and wonderful book. Jordan reveals her capacity to help allistic (those who are not autistic) people deeply understand the daily struggles, challenges, and strengths of autistic people. You, Me, and Autism is a well-designed bridge to stronger relationships between allistic and autistic people. The book helps allistic people create supportive environments at home and work where autistic people can fully contribute and thrive. The book also helps autistic people learn how to manage their limitations and courageously embrace new opportunities. Writing with a down-to-earth, engaging, inspiring, and humorous style, Jordan has filled her book with practical strategies for all readers. Her tried-and-true guidance pertains to workplaces, home life, emotional and physical health, education, and personal identity.
