Spot On

Well where to start, at the beginning I guess is as good as anywhere, i will say I’m in my mid 50’s, I have Autism and was diagnosed late in my life, and I have had considerable difficulties dealing with it, as it was picked up late, I have a lot of unhealthy coping strategies, and while I have been seeking psychological held of late, a family member told me about this author’s Facebook page, and I watched many of his videos, so thought I’d give the book a try, as with many on the spectrum, with Dyslexia, ADHD etc.. reading is not really my thing, I find it hard going, and concentrating on the meaning, while trying to keep the words from jumping about, missing lines or just reading something wrong, I get a headache and stop reading, this audiobook helps immensely with the process, and so far (the first two chapters) it has been a pleasurable experience, I am presently sat in a coffee shop, surrounded my noise and distractions, where reading a book would be absolutely impossible for me, with my noise cancelling earbuds in, I found I can read (listen) without much problem, and i can say, Daniel has spoken clearly and humanly, like in conversation, not like a textbook, and has been uncannily accurate describing my early life, I would highly recommend this book to anybody who deals with an autistic person, it will give them a good insight to what is going on in our Atypical brains, and make it easier to deal with each other. An easy 5 stars

Insightful and Reassuring

I often find myself with a serious imposter syndrome when it comes to my autism, but hearing Daniel’s life experience and relating to it all so much helps remind me that my condition is valid and is not something that should be masked and bottled up just because of life and social pressures.
