I've bought this, would anyone recommend it or anything else? It arrives next week but if there is anything else I'm open to buying it.
Thanks,

Yes, that’s a good read! The website of hers is really good as well
I personally didn''t really get on with Attwood.
I found "been there done that, an aspie guide to life" and especially "nerdy shy and socially inappropriate" - Cynthia Kim very good
We did buy the book several years ago, but mum lent it out quite a bit to various family friends and it mysteriously vanished! I'm not sure a life guide is even possible, there's so much variation in autism. I had a book that tried to be one and I loathed it because so many bits of it really didn't suit me as an individual. The Attwood one that was more a "this is what it is" than a "how-to" was the one I really liked of the small collection we bought around the time I was diagnosed.
I'm guessing such a good unfortunately does not exist. Funny is that, I actually have always wanted some life guide.
Like Emma, I read the free online version (sorry Mr Attwood).
It is a comprehensive read ABOUT autism and what it is, and why it is...
However, it is not a users guide to life with it :) - but, I guess that would be a BIG ask as we are all so individual in many ways even though there are synergies.
I've just paid £16 for that, maybe I should have asked before posting haha. I prefer book form anyway :).
I'm looking forward to reading it, internet is great and all but it's nice to have something all in one place.
This an updated version of Attwood's? I have the original (http://www.autismforthvalley.co.uk/files/5314/4595/7798/Attwood-Tony-The-Complete-Guide-to-Aspergers-Syndrome.pdf) and found it a very useful read when I was first diagnosed.
