What do you need at work, in your home, and in the wider world to flourish, to feel happy, and to achieve - and how can you make it happen?

Autism acceptance has led to - at least, at surface level - an increased understanding of what autistic adults and children need, and of what they find difficult to cope with. But is the world really making the kind of adjustments that would see you, as an adult, truly thrive?

In Reasonable Adjustments for Autistic Adults, acclaimed and much-loved author and expert Dr Luke Beardon sets out the full scope of what he sees as the essential adjustments that should be made to workplaces, public transport, social settings, healthcare and the wider world in order to allow our autistic people like you to reach your full potential and be genuinely comfortable in each and every environment.

From workplace meetings to dentists' surgeries and journeys on public transport, Luke's book offers practical measures for adapting every environment or sensory situation.

Absolutely essential reading for every autistic adult or health and social care professional, this is a long-overdue book that has the potential to change the world not only for you but also for generations to come.

Dr Luke Beardon is Senior Lecturer in Autism at Sheffield Hallam University. He has published widely on autism and is renowned and respected for his uniquely inclusive, celebratory approach to helping autistic people thrive in a neurotypical world. He works with government authorities to develop services and model best practice, in addition to being part of a research team, and has spoken at many national and international conferences on a variety of autism-related topics. He has won several awards for his work, including the National Autistic Society's Autism Professionals Award for achievement in 2016, and has won the Autism Hero Awards in two categories, including for Lifetime Achievement.
