EXPERIENCES OF ADULTS FOLLOWING AN AUTISM DIAGN...

This book explores adult experiences of autism diagnosis. Focusing on the experiences of 21
interviewees  the structure of the book mirrors the seven stages undergone upon diagnosis  and
raises important questions about modern society and the self  amidst this life-changing news.
Analysing a broad range of empirical interview data including adults who had experiences of
other diagnoses  and adults who seemed to function normally before their autism diagnosis  the
authors use these stories to examine how autism diagnosis can be extremely important and
helpful  but also generate a great deal of negativity.Illuminating a range of testimonies that
have previously been kept in the shadows  this book will not only appeal to students and
scholars of autism in adults  but also to practitioners as well as adults who have been
diagnosed with autism.
