Publisher’s Summary
Live Authentically and Function Effectively in All Areas of Your Life
In this first-of-its-kind book, Sol Smith combines current research, his personal experience as a late-diagnosed autistic adult, and lessons learned as an educator to show how you can transcend common mischaracterizations, overcome shame, and gain the skills to flourish. Sol knows that neurodivergent people often feel that nothing they have been taught relates to how they experience the world. To resolve this conflict, they try to change or mask who they are, which can cause isolation, depression, and anxiety. He advises the opposite: Understand yourself, accept yourself, and reduce conflict. Designed to help you peel away the shell of inadequacy and self-blame that often comes with neurodivergence, The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery offers the necessary tools and knowledge to function effectively at home, at work, and in the wider world.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Very helpful for late/recently diagnosed”
Late diagnosed (47) last year as AuDHD, the diagnosis brought some compelling answers to my life up until this point. Currently swimming in the deep end trying to figure out who I am. This book has helped shed some light on a lot of my current struggles, from family issues to my professional life. Thank you Professor Sol Smith for this easy to digest and utilize book.— Aaron, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Exactly as described, so helpful!!”
Sol did a great job narrating, I appreciate hearing his inflections. I’ve enjoyed his videos on social media and his work online, but having his teachings in this format so far has been the most accessible! Very informative and non-judgmental in his examples and advice!— Amazon Customer, Audible listener
