Hello Friends and Colleagues!

If you’re a therapist supporting neurodivergent clients—or someone navigating life with Autism or ADHD yourself—these three thoughtfully designed workbooks offer a practical, compassionate path forward. These workbooks dive into the unique challenges that come with neurodivergence, from sensory overload and emotional intensity to executive functioning hurdles, while equipping readers with clear, evidence-informed skills to build stronger emotion regulation and everyday coping strategies. Whether you’re looking to deepen your clinical toolkit or empower your own growth, these resources turn complex concepts into accessible, actionable tools that celebrate neurodiversity and foster real, lasting resilience. Enjoy!


1. Is This Autism?


The authors take the reader step by step through the diagnostic criteria, incorporating the latest research as well as quotes from over 100 autistic contributors that bring that research to life. They also describe many aspects of autism that are not included in the current diagnostic criteria, such as autistic strengths and co-occurring disorders. Readers will learn about highly relevant topics, such as different types of empathy, sensory systems that are not well known, neuro-crash and burn out, and relative versus absolute thinking.

This book provides a deep, current, and neurodiversity-affirmative understanding of the less obvious presentations of autism. It is relevant to all healthcare professionals, educators, family members, autistic individuals, and anyone who is curious about autism. A clinical companion guide, Is This Autism? A Companion Guide for Diagnosing, is available for clinicians who make mental health diagnoses.
