Practical guidance for autism’s transition years

Focused on adolescence and early adulthood, this guide extends the authors’ earlier work on autism into the social, educational, and developmental questions that arise as young people grow older. It addresses subjects including changing bodies, first crushes, college, and preparation for life beyond school, framing them through strategies for supporting teens and young adults on the spectrum. The book places parents’ concerns alongside the roles of therapists and educators, making its scope broader than a home-only parenting manual. Published in 2010, it presents guidance for navigating the transition from childhood services and routines toward greater independence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers of teens or young adults on the autism spectrum
  • Therapists and educators supporting autistic adolescents
  • Families seeking guidance on relationships, college, and transition-to-adulthood topics

Book overview

The first comprehensive guide to helping teens with autism--from the acclaimed authors of Overcoming Autism

With an estimated half a million Americans under twenty-six on the autism spectrum, this book offers the reassurance, solace, and practical solutions that so many people are searching for. Following up on their work in Overcoming Autism, which offered advice for teaching young children on the spectrum, Lynn Koegel and Claire LaZebnik now present strategies for working with teens and young adults living with this complex condition. Addressing universal parental concerns, from first crushes and a changing body to how to succeed in college and beyond, Growing Up on the Spectrum is a beacon of hope and wisdom for parents, therapists, and educators alike.
