About So You Have Autism, Now What?: 30 Days Of

Product Description Learn who you are and what you want out of life! Do not let Autism define you! So, you have been diagnosed with Autism. Maybe it was recently, coming as a shock as they used the term “Autism Spectrum Disorder” to describe you. Perhaps you were diagnosed with Asperger’s Disorder as a child, and have not yet come to terms with it. For most people, a diagnosis of Autism leaves them feeling lost, as treatments can be hard to come by. How do you take control of your life, when you barely understand yourself or your condition? If you are tired of living a life of frustration and isolation, it is time to make a change. You need to take action to learn about who you are and what you want out of your life. By reading this book, you will learn about Autism, what it is, and how it affects your life. You will begin to learn how to form an identity as a person, not just someone who has Autism. For the next month, you will work to build a new life, one not defined by the limitations of Autism. Each day, for the next 30 days, you will complete a chapter. Each chapter has activities for you to complete, all building toward you becoming the person you want to be. You will Learn: What is Autism, and how does it affect your life? Who you are as a person, including strengths, weaknesses, and finding your purpose. Coping Skills to help manage stress and change. How to combat Autism symptoms, including Obsessions, Rigidity, and Overstimulation. Communication Skills to help you better interact with family, friends, and professionals. Building healthy routines, including sleep, diet, and time management. Combating negative thoughts and focusing on your long-term future. ...and more! If you have struggled to build the life you want and feel Autism has held you back, it is time to make a change. As someone who is on the Autism Spectrum, I understand how difficult this can be. Your future is waiting. From the Author As a therapist and someone with Autism, I wanted to create a book that can help people who feel trapped within the Autism Spectrum. It is not easy for someone with Autism to navigate our world, as much of our world revolves around communication and interaction with others. I remember the fear I used to feel while talking to people, especially strangers. I used to practice making phone calls and reciting what I wanted to say out of fear of messing up.  As they say, however, practice makes perfect, and over time, I was able to better communicate and interact with others. After ten years of working with people on the Autism Spectrum, I have seen many improve by deciding to make a change in their lives. By going out into the world and gaining experience, you can learn how to manage the fear and overstimulation the world provides. Do not give up hope; you too can lead a happy, productive life, and can become the person you want to be. All you need is a push to help you begin, which I hope this book will provide. Be patient with yourself and give it time. If you spend a small part of each day working to improve yourself, eventually, you will meet your goals.  I hope my book will help you on your journey.  Nathan Driskell From the Back Cover LEARN WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE DO NOT LET AUTISM DEFINE YOU!
