"The Social Survival Guide For Teens on the Autism Spectrum by Dr.
Lindsay Sterling is a well-written and easy-to-read volume that
addresses one of the most important and challenging issues for
individuals with autism spectrum disorders. It is a welcome
addition to the literature for both the professional and the person
on the autism spectrum. This is a wonderful guide for therapists
and families to help their teens in developing critical social
skills. It also addresses social media platforms, which is a
subject that has not been addressed in previous volumes. I would
highly recommend this volume to anyone working with or raising a
teenager on the autism spectrum." --BJ Freeman, PhD, Clinical
Psychologist, Autism Spectrum Disorders
"As a psychologist who works with teens on the autism spectrum,
I've been waiting for a book like this one! There are so many books
written for parents and therapists. This one is written for the
autistic teen in easy-to-understand language and focused on topics
that are important to teens, such as how to make a friend. Parents
will benefit from it reading too. I highly recommend this book."
--Dr. Geraldine Dawson, Professor, Director, Duke Center for Autism
and Brain Development, Duke University
"Dr. Sterling's book was written for teens on the spectrum. But as
a professional, I can easily see how it could help me, parents of
teens, and other professionals trying to figure out these abstract
social puzzles that are encountered daily. I recommend this book to
all of us!" --Dr. Marjorie H. Charlop, Ph.D., BCBA, Professor of
Psychology, and Director of Claremont Autism Center
"I can think of no one better than Dr. Sterling to write a book on
social skills for autistic teens. It's full of practical tips and
exercises that encourage teens to take an active role in building
relationships with others. Teens will find this book an accessible
and helpful read they can return to again and again as it
simplifies our complex social world." --Lauren Elder, PhD, ABPP,
Licensed Psychologist
"This book fills an important need in our field. Dr. Sterling does
a wonderful job combining practical social skill-building concepts
with cognitive behavioral strategies. If you have struggled with
relationships, the answers are within this book! It goes beyond the
basics and in a way that is understandable, practical, and
encouraging to the reader. I can't wait to recommend this book to
every client of mine who struggles with friendships." --Catherine
M. Brock, MA, Executive Director, UC Irvine Center for Autism &
Neurodevelopmental Disorders
