Book reccomendation please for parents with Autistic/Aspergers adult Son

Cassi

Hi Everyone

I am still learning how this group works, and I am not used to discussing this with anyone, so not sure on alot of terminology etc, so please bare with me.

My son is late 20's, has undiagnosed Autism and/or aspergers, he has a successful career mainly working from home.  He has no interest in socialising and is extremely driven, is sensitive to noise, hates any change and has a very disciplined daily routine. I can see clearly, that he suffers terribly with anxiety, this is something I can understand.

Can anyone recommend a book that can help me understand him more as he will not communicate with me, and I want to learn how I can reach him, my previous post explains more.

Many thanks x

    You are so welcome! That’s what we are here for! It’s so important to help parents understand their children/adults autistic experience and why we approach the world differently. After all, if we can change one parent’s perspective on autistic experience, that could help the young person/adult enormously.

    If you ever need anymore insight into your son’s autistic experience please just post here if you feel comfortable!
