Description
This groundbreaking book offers accessible and sensitive advice on managing depression for adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Written by Nick Dubin, who has experienced depression himself, the book shares practical solutions to this often-overlooked problem.
It explores how everyday life can trigger feelings of low in people with ASD, explains how these feelings can escalate, and looks at ways to prevent depression. The book also delves into the challenges of coping with a world that may seem alien, and offers real support for those struggling with mental health issues.
A chapter on suicide is included, along with interviews with Nick's parents, providing a honest and compassionate approach to this complex topic.
