Description
The Adult Autism Assessment Handbook offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to adult autism assessment, providing a paradigm-shifting Neuro-Affirmative approach to clinical practice.
Written by a team of experts, including neurotypical and neurodivergent authors, this handbook centers the person's internal experiences and sense-making in clinical assessment, rather than subjective observation. It explores traditional clinical assessment tools and provides a breadth of knowledge on key areas that affect Autistic adults in everyday life.
With additional resources such as language guidelines, a directory of further support, and downloadable forms, this handbook will support professionals through every step of the assessment process and provide a valuable tool for conducting Neuro-Affirmative assessments and post-assessment support.
