Description

From the authors who brought you "Raising a Child on the Autism Spectrum: Insights from Parents to Parents", this book takes the reader on a step-by-step sojourn into what many students and parents experience as rocky terrain - middle school, high school, college, and first jobs - regardless of whether they experience life through the autism spectrum lens. Rachel Bédard, PhD, and Mallory Griffith, MA, CCC-SLP, experts in treating families with ASD members, have tapped professionals, parents, and students to create the ultimate primer for managing "the unvarnished truth about academics, friendships, anxiety, and depression" people on the spectrum often encounter as they move into higher education and beyond. Heartfelt entries from parents and their children in You've Got This! illuminate the struggles and triumphs of living on the spectrum, while professionals highlight the importance of planning, flexibility, and outreach for a successful launch into these critical developmental stages. The students on the spectrum and their parents have got this. Let them be your guides.

Author Biography:

Rachel Bédard, PhD, is a licensed psychologist living and working in Fort Collins, Colorado. Known for her quick wit and dry humor, Dr. Bédard can seemingly find strengths in any situation and guide her fantastic clients to their own version of success. She thanks the many individuals who have allowed her to learn from their life experiences. This book would not have been possible without the inspiration of clients and mentors. Mallory Griffith, MA, CCC-SLP, is a speech-language therapist who focuses on coaching social communication skills in her private practice. She is the founder of the nonprofit, SOCIAL! The Pendley Project, which supports individuals with social and sensory-based needs through meaningful, daily activities. Mallory is profoundly grateful for clients who provide inspiration and colleagues who kindly support her endeavors. She is particularly thankful for Dr. Bédard's patient mentorship and friendship. Mallory resides and works in Fort Collins, Colorado.
