About this listen

The ultimate autistic survival guide to therapy

"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.

I know myself better

This book was full of information that helped me get to know my newly diagnosed self much better, and also how to navigate therapy in a more functional way. I could start this again right away and be as interested as the first time.

I couldn't put it down

This book had me in tears so many times. I found it immensely relatable and helpful. While it answered some great questions it has left me with more, but good, questions. I am so thankful for this book and highly recommend it.

A Must-Read for Mental Health Professionals (and Clients)

I am recommending this book to every therapist I know!! I am a neurodivergent therapist who works with neurodivergent clients. I found it incredibly accurate, clear, and practical in what to be aware of on the therapist end when working with neurodivergent clients!

Life Changing

As a 55 year-old late diagnosed ASD-1, this book gave me new hope after nearly 30 years of really, really harmful counseling experiences.

Humorous and empowering

So helpful! I’m in my 50s and just recognized I’m on the autism spectrum. This book has been hugely empowering. Thanks!

life changing

this book is incredible and easily digestible. I love that she sites her sources and included interviews from some of my favorite Autistic YouTubers. Every autistic person and therapist could benefit from reading this book.

Excellent!...

Extremely vindicating of my experience as one who is on "the spectrum". This book came at just the right time in my life.

I feel heard!

I am currently on my own journey of late diagnosed ASD. and it has been rough but knowing I am not alone and that I'm doing the right things has helped so much. I have learned a lot of new techniques too! Thanks Steph! you are very appreciated! 💝
