Description
The Guide to Good Mental Health on the Autism Spectrum offers practical strategies and advice for improving mental wellbeing in individuals on the autism spectrum who may also experience a mental illness.
This guide provides balanced perspectives on treatment options, including therapy pets, medication, and psychotherapy, as well as self-help strategies tailored to meet individual needs. It includes information on common mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, as well as advice on improving sleep patterns and mindfulness.
Short personal narratives from people on the autism spectrum and mental health issues illustrate the text, while a list of resources, books, and organisations provides further support and inspiration for those seeking to improve their mental wellbeing.
