"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.
