    As a neurodivergent adult, parent of a neurodivergent little, and a therapist, I can not sufficiently express how much I love this book. Dr. Neff combines her personal experience and her deep love of research to create a useful, informative, credible and easy-to-consume resource. Definitely a must-have ❤️

    So much is packed into this great little book! Perfect amounts of author's self disclosure and great examples of ways to practice self-care. I like that the intended audience is Autistic individuals, as many self-care books just feel inaccessible or unrealistic. Added bonus- I also love the look, size and feel of the book- very appealing to my senses. Lastly, one can read it cover to cover or you can also skip around to a particular topic that may be of interest/need on any particular day.

    "Self-Care for Autistic People" felt like a warm hug from someone who truly gets it. Megan Anna Neff's insights and tips aren't just about de-stressing; they're about embracing your unique neurodiversity. As someone who's navigated the world with autism, Neff speaks from experience, offering practical advice that feels both comforting and empowering. Sure, some parts felt repetitive, and I wished for a more cohesive structure, but the wealth of information made up for it. From understanding sensory overload to managing communication hurdles, this book covers it all with empathy and understanding. It's not about "fixing" autism but finding ways to thrive with it, and that's a message worth spreading. Whether you're newly diagnosed or just seeking to understand yourself better, this book is like a beacon guiding you through the maze of neurodiversity.
