Support through adolescence and toward independence

Jason Jones’s guide brings together the experiences of autistic teens and practical topics for the adults who support them.

The book also addresses transitions between school levels, executive-function activities, creative interests, and community support. Its scope connects everyday concerns at home and school with preparation for greater independence, while presenting autism through varied experiences rather than a single template.
