Life coaching for adults on the autism spectrum : discovering your true potential
Jaclyn Hunt (Author), ASD Life Coaches LLC
Adults on the Autism Spectrum rarely have access to services once they age out of the school system. Many therapies are simply not appropriate in terms of teaching these adults the practical skills they need to succeed in various aspects of life. Many on the spectrum struggle with forming and building relationships, finding and maintaining a job and managing their day to day life. Life Coaching, specifically for adults on the spectrum or anyone who considers themselves neurodivergent, can provide individuals, other coaches, parents and professionals the tools and skills necessary to guide these amazing people to success. One-on-one coaching can be expensive and so this book was designed to make these methods and strategies available to everyone in an affordable and concise resource. Everyone can benefit from this self help book that takes you on a practical journey through building relationships from the ground up, developing a rewarding career, managing your day to day life effectively and discovering your true potential--Publisher's description
