People on the autism spectrum often present with symptoms indicating poor self-awareness or hyper-awareness, low self-esteem, depression and difficulty connecting with others. Treatment which relies on medical and behavioral views of autism risks ignoring emotional factors. This book demonstrates that counseling and emotional support is not only possible for people on the autism spectrum, but essential.
