Description
This
innovative workbook will help give lower-functioning adults with autism
the knowledge they need to live safe, happy, and independent lives.
Stuff You Need to Know is a guide to help young adults with autism learn the most basic skills to achieve independence. Finding suitable materials for adults with autism can be difficult. Most books are written for a younger age group, and those written for older individuals often contain too much text—which can be visual overload.
This
resource is created and designed for lower-functioning adults, written
by a mom and proven to have helped hundreds of young adults even before
publication. This guide helps teach the basics of:
• Healthy habits
• Good hygiene
• Technology
• Cooking
• Emergencies
• Time and money
And much, much more!

This book is absolutely needed by my students on the spectrum. So much of what's available is geared at younger students, and the older ones are just forgotten, but they need these basic instructions. The book presents each topic in bite-sized pieces, and introduces them in the context of a conversation. It's a real person who is walking through life and helping them to understand what needs to be done and why (such as washing clothes or going to the doctor). The book has good graphics, easy-to-read text, and is easy to reference, should they need to go back and re-read something. Students can get answers to the questions that they didn't even know they had!
Excellent! A must read for young people on the spectrum.
A little suggestion the examples are very American, needs adaptation for Europe.
Review is scheduled for publication date.
