Written by leading experts in the field, the book explains depression, its different forms, and how it can manifest for individuals on the autism spectrum. The authors draw on the latest research to offer effective strategies for coping with depression and provide a step-by-step CBT self-help programme tailored to the needs of those with ASD.
