Reviews for The Autistic Guide to Communicating and Connecting: Understanding our Communication Differences and Social Needs

Another great book from Niamh, packed full of insights and strategies on communication and socialising for autistic people and those who support them. The Six Step Social Plan is a piece of genius for every autistic venturing forth on a night out! -- Sarah Hendrickx, author of Women and Girls on the Autism Spectrum.
