"This is the book that would've saved me nine different therapists, decades of self-analysis, thousands of pounds, twelve different doctors and untold amounts of pain, frustration and trauma - in spending a lifetime looking for the right answers in the wrong places I've become an accidental expert."

In this candid, witty and insightful exploration into therapy, Steph Jones uses her professional and lived experiences as a late diagnosed autistic woman and therapist, as well as consulting therapists from across the world and tapping into the autistic community, to create the ultimate autistic survival guide to therapy.

Steph confronts the statistics, inadequate practices and ableist therapists head on and poses the questions of how we can make therapy neurodivergence-affirming and how to create safe spaces for autistic individuals. With strategic and practical advice to help recognise the 'red flags' of a dodgy therapist and provide a clear roadmap to finding your confidence and setting the appropriate boundaries with a new therapist, Steph has every question answered.

To support therapists striving for inclusivity and a neurodiverse affirming practice, the inclusion of a context guide provides a deconstruction of each therapy session so you can recognise how undiagnosed (or diagnosed) autism may present itself during therapy and how you can start to explore this in the therapeutic space.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Steph Jones takes readers on an entertaining, informative and incredibly relatable ride through her therapy journey as a late diagnosed Autistic woman and therapist. Steph's insights and advice on what to look for in an affirming therapist, how to know when a therapist is not for you, and so much more, will prove invaluable to Autistic adults and therapists alike.--Raelene Dundon, Autistic ADHDer Psychologist and Author.

An absolutely crucial resource in a world where autistic people are desperately looking for effective therapy, but few therapists seem appropriately equipped to deal with us. Given that many autistic people have co-occuring conditions, it is vital that therapists have up to date knowledge and training on how to understand and treat us. A real gem that will change lives.--Samantha Stein, AuDHD YouTuber, coach and author

I’m half way into the book and so far I’m intrigued. Has given me a lot to consider about autism and my experience with not only therapy but my daily life. I’m recommending it to my friends.

This is an excellent book for autistic people who are in therapy or looking for a therapist. It would be useful and ideal if every therapist would read it as well. I'm going to ask my therapist to read it.

This is literally the BEST book I have read about autism. In any other books of autism (even unmasking autism) I didn’t read further than halfway trough. In this book things are written I didn’t know yet. Most other books tell the standard things about autism. This is an unique book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all therapists - even specialists - you don't already know this!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2024

This book is a game changer - I really hope it gets well circulated amongst therapists in all specialities (especially those who think they DON'T work with autistic people) and it should be mandatory training material for Clinical Psychology etc. It's so readable yet jam packed with useful information - as a therapist and an autist with special interests in this exact topic I didn't expect to learn anything but I absolutely did pick up quite a few useful gems. Thank goodness for this new generation of constructive, realistic and positive books about autism and for voices like Steph. Congratulations and heartfelt thanks to the author on a really excellent book - her voice is fresh, funny and wise. We need an equivalent for education now please ....

I'm only half way through so far but I've really enjoyed reading this both from the perspective of being a late diagnosed autistic person and also as a trainee therapist. The author has managed to incorporate her sense of humour into her writing which helps to make it relatable. I thoroughly recommend for any autistic person who is thinking about entering therapy and also for therapists both autistic and neurotypical.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for anyone who is or wants to be a therapist...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 15, 2024

I finished this book within 24 hours of picking it up.

I really resonated with the author as a late diagnosed ASD person with Alexithymia who is training to become a therapist I have been really struggling which is how I found this book.

I loved the book, the humour and writing style makes it an easy read on a difficult subject.

I was just finishing an essay for my course and rewrote it and referenced this book as the book is saying what I was trying to say. The gaslighting that goes on by therapists due to them not even considering autism and assuming you are just being resistant is something I have experienced first hand. I have started and sold several very successful businesses and continue to run one but was leaving training thinking I was just awkward for not getting it.

The way autism is framed in this book and the way therapy can help or not has been very helpful to me.

Highly recommend any therapist read this.
