You've Got This!: The Journey from Middle School to College, as told by Students on the Autism Spectrum and Their Parents

From the authors who brought you "Raising a Child on the Autism Spectrum: Insights from Parents to Parents", this book takes the reader on a step-by-step sojourn into what many students and parents experience as rocky terrain - middle school, high school, college, and first jobs - regardless of whether they experience life through the autism spectrum lens. Rachel Bédard, PhD, and Mallory Griffith, MA, CCC-SLP, experts in treating families with ASD members, have tapped professionals, parents, and students to create the ultimate primer for managing "the unvarnished truth about academics, friendships, anxiety, and depression" people on the spectrum often encounter as they move into higher education and beyond. Heartfelt entries from parents and their children in You've Got This! illuminate the struggles and triumphs of living on the spectrum, while professionals highlight the importance of planning, flexibility, and outreach for a successful launch into these critical developmental stages. The students on the spectrum and their parents have got this. Let them be your guides.
