Arriving July 2025!

In You, Me, and Autism, autistic scholar Phoebe Jordan elegantly combines her personal experiences and academic research to create a unique and wonderful book. Jordan reveals her capacity to help allistic people (those who are not autistic) deeply understand the daily struggles, challenges, and strengths of autistic people.

You, Me, and Autism is a well-designed bridge to stronger relationships between allistic and autistic people. The book helps allistic people to create supportive environments at home and work where autistic people can fully contribute and thrive. The book also helps autistic people learn how to manage their limitations and courageously embrace new opportunities.

Writing with a down-to-earth, engaging, inspiring, and humorous style, Jordan has filled her book with practical strategies for all readers. Her tried-and-true guidance pertains to workplaces, home life, emotional and physical health, education, and personal identity.

“As someone whose passions are learning, reading, and working with autistic people and their families, I tremendously enjoyed reading You, Me, and Autism. The book creates and paints different and unique worlds through elegant and evocative stories, taking the reader through a fulfilling journey of discovery. As such, it can be viewed as a significant literary work. Importantly, to everyone interested in learning about autism from the perspectives of the families, this book offers invaluable insights and should therefore be essential reading for the general public, students, clinicians, researchers, and policymakers. Although I have worked in the field of autism for a significant period of time, I have benefited greatly from the diverse perspectives presented in this excellent book. We need more books like this.”

“Using research evidence and diverse lived experiences this is a beautiful exploration of autistic identity as well as practical strategies. It takes a strengths-based approach to understanding autism from core characteristics to daily living, schooling, employment, relationships, disclosure, and wellbeing.”
