“This is a must-read for any parent with a child on the autism spectrum as well as caregivers, siblings, and extended family” (Library Journal, starred review).

One of the biggest fears of parents with children with autism is looming adulthood and all that it entails. From raising her own son with autism, Susan Senator is able to take the mystery out of adult life on the spectrum and convey the positive message that even though autism adulthood is complicated and challenging, there are many ways to make it manageable and enjoyable.

Autism Adulthood features thirty interviews with autistic adults, their parents, caregivers, researchers, and professionals. Each vignette reveals firsthand a family’s challenge, their circumstances, their thought processes, and their unique solutions and plans of action. Sharing the wisdom that emerges from parents’ and self-advocates’ experiences, Senator adds her own observations and conclusions based on her long-term experience with autism. Told in Senator’s trademark warm, honest, and approachable style, Autism Adulthood paints a vivid and thought-provoking picture of many people grappling with grown-up, real-life autism.

“There is a huge need for books to help individuals with autism make the transition to adulthood . . . I highly recommend Autism Adulthood for parents and teachers who are guiding individuals in the middle range within the broad autism spectrum.” —Temple Grandin, author of The Autistic Brain and Thinking in Pictures

“The wonderful Susan Senator gives voice to those who are too often voiceless—folks with ASD who seek what they deserve—lives of purpose and possibilities.” —Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and bestselling author of Life, Animated: A Story of Sidekicks, Heroes, and Autism
