In order to survive in a Neurotypical world many Aspies feel that they need ‘fake it’ and intentionally wear a mask and play a role so that people will not see who they really are. This can be exhausting and ‘faking it’ is a key daily stressor for people with Asperger’s Syndrome. This ebook is packed with advice from Aspie mentors who have all been there, done that, and offer suggestions for coping strategies that really work. Liane Holliday Willey, Jennifer Cook O’Toole, Karen Krejcha and more offer guidance based on their personal experiences of ‘faking it’ and the ebook ends with professional analysis and recommendations from world expert Dr. Tony Attwood.
This inspirational advice comes from the bestselling book Been There. Done That. Try This!, written by Aspies for Aspies, now available in short Aspie Mentor Guides!
