A Guide for Clinicians and Everyone Else provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. Though our understanding of autism has greatly expanded, many autistic individuals are still missed or misdiagnosed. This highly accessible book clarifies many ways that autism can present, particularly in people who camouflage to hide their autistic traits. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism.
