Adult Autism Jon Venford-Brown

Jon Venford-Brown was diagnosed as autistic in his mid-fifties. In this book he looks back at his experience of the condition, from tell-tale signs in childhood to eventual diagnosis. He also examines the differences between autism and Asperger Syndrome, and looks at the pioneers who originally discovered them; famous people on the spectrum, past and present; the correlation between autism, stress, mental; health, anxiety and depression; and provides suggestions for those who believe they are similarly affected and seeking a possible diagnosis. Written strictly from a non-academic point of view, this provides a new angle on the subject from the perspective of one who has lived unknowingly with autism for several years.
