Autism acceptance has led to - at least, at surface level - an increased understanding of what autistic adults and children need, and of what they find difficult to cope with. But is the world really making the kind of adjustments that would see you, as an adult, truly thrive?

In Reasonable Adjustments for Autistic Adults, acclaimed and much-loved author and expert Dr Luke Beardon sets out the full scope of what he sees as the essential adjustments that should be made to workplaces, public transport, social settings, healthcare and the wider world in order to allow our autistic people like you to reach your full potential and be genuinely comfortable in each and every environment.

From workplace meetings to dentists' surgeries and journeys on public transport, Luke's book offers practical measures for adapting every environment or sensory situation.

Absolutely essential reading for every autistic adult or health and social care professional, this is a long-overdue book that has the potential to change the world not only for you but also for generations to come.
