Description
This book is a testament to the power of self-discovery and the importance of finding the right answers in the right places. Written by Steph Jones, a late-diagnosed autistic woman and therapist, it offers a candid and insightful exploration of therapy and the autistic experience.
Steph draws on her own experiences, as well as consulting with therapists from across the world and tapping into the autistic community, to create a comprehensive guide to therapy that is both practical and thought-provoking. She confronts the challenges faced by autistic individuals in therapy and offers strategic advice on how to find a confident and supportive therapist.
For therapists looking to create a more inclusive and neurodivergent-affirming practice, the book also includes a context guide that provides a deconstruction of each therapy session. This guide helps readers to recognise the signs of undiagnosed or misdiagnosed autism and to explore this in the therapeutic space.
