‘Autism and You: Learning in Styles’

As a person on the autism spectrum, I find it refreshing to find this subject addressed directly to the person who has autism, in this case, the student with autism.

(So many books are written addressing how others can cope with us, so I purposely seek to showcase books that are written for an autistic readership.)

With concise, clear language, Autism and You: Learning in Styles explains learning styles and preferences, and also helps identify environmental factors that might influence the student’s ability to learn. It’s a quick read, easily digestible, but worth returning to sections as-needed to put its information into practice.
​
Autism and You helps students to discover their own optimal learning environment, and offers practical suggestions for how the student can shape an environment to help them do their best.

This book, as I’ve said, is written for students, but I feel that it could easily also be relevant to a wider autistic readership. Even people who are not on the spectrum might similarly benefit from being able to understand their preferred learning style.

Autism and You: Learning in Styles is written by Diana Friedlander, EdD; and‎ Karen Burke, EdD. It was published in October 2017 by Future Horizons.
