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

  • Cassi,

    This is the first book I read on autism, leading me to seek a  diagnosis at the age of 67.

    "An Adult with an Autism Diagnosis: A Guide for the Newly Diagnosed", by Gillan Drew.
    The author tells his own story of the difficulties he overcame and gives tips and advice. He writes of his difficulties as a student; in the workplace; at home; in shared houses, relationships and more.
    I borrowed the book from a county library, it is also available as an E-book and, of course, from bookshops.
