Live Authentically and Function Effectively in All Areas of Your Life

In this first-of-its-kind book, Sol Smith combines current research, his personal experience as a late-diagnosed autistic adult, and lessons learned as an educator to show how you can transcend common mischaracterizations, overcome shame, and gain the skills to flourish. Sol knows that neurodivergent people often feel that nothing they have been taught relates to how they experience the world. To resolve this conflict, they try to change or mask who they are, which can cause isolation, depression, and anxiety. He advises the opposite: Understand yourself, accept yourself, and reduce conflict. Designed to help you peel away the shell of inadequacy and self-blame that often comes with neurodivergence, The Autistic’s Guide to Self-Discovery offers the necessary tools and knowledge to function effectively at home, at work, and in the wider world.

Sol Smith spent nearly two decades as a college professor, always feeling and doing things a little out of step from everyone else, before realizing that his differences had a lot to do with his being autistic. He works with individuals and offers educational seminars about neurodiversity to business and community organizations. He also manages NeuroSpicyCommunity.com, an online community for adult autistics where they can support and learn from one another. Sol lives in Southern California with his wife and four children.
