Description
Attention: this version is not the final version. Current updates and correct edits are being made and will be uploaded soon.
Transitioning into adulthood is already difficult, but being young and Autistic can make it so much harder. Leaving the protections and supports of childhood behind can feel daunting. In a world that often marginalises Autistic people, how do you begin to figure out and pursue your own goals and dreams, while also managing the new challenges of adulthood?
This empowering book is here to help you (and your Neurodiverse family and friends who love you) learn how to navigate these transitions on your own terms and timeline. It recognises that no matter where you are - home, school, college, work, out with friends - you have the right to be heard, to feel safe and comfortable, and to chart your own path to success. And it will give you the tools you need to make sure that happens.
So join us to hear #ActuallyAutistic teens and young adults share their experiences, helping you to move towards independence and show your allies how they can support you in this journey.

A good book on how autistic people, and the people in their lives, can advocate for ourselves in different areas of our lives and become more independent. As someone in their early 20s this book made me feel seen and I will be coming back to it again
Divided into different sections and steps, this book delves into most portions of our lives and how we can advocate for ourselves, our loved ones and autistic people.
Anything that was not my favourite; the prose at times, and tone and style are entirely due to my personal preferences. This book is timely and I will recommend it to my colleagues and refer to this guide.
