Join us for the second meeting of the OCASG Author Series with writer and therapist Dr. Lindsey Sterling who will share insights from her book ,The Social Survival Guide for Teens on the Autism Spectrum: How to Make Friends and Navigate Your Emotions.
Social situations can feel mysterious or tricky to navigate and if you are on the autism spectrum, they can feel overwhelming. The Social Survival Guide for Teens on the Autism Spectrum unlocks socialization secrets and helps you understand your feelings. Autism books for kids don’t always address teenagers’ needs, but the practical tips and step-by-step guides in this handbook are perfect for ages 12-16.
Learn how to handle situations like managing anxiety, starting a conversation, understanding sarcasm, and dealing with conflict. Build stronger social skills and take care of your emotional health at the same time. This guide can help you feel more confident and more connected to people you care about.
