Where can I find an online Adult AS Survival guide?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm looking for something that can help me deal with my AS. I want to learn social skils, organization, how to get around in life. I'm an adult now, I want to learn how to be sucessful in the real world. Jobs, marrages, relationships, parenting etc. How does an Aspie deal with life? How can he solve problems?

I need an online survival guide that's not biased. Something that I can print out and read.

By the way, is this one good?

I read it and it makes no sense to me at all.

That's because it is stupidly ridiculous... I would very seriously consider trying to forget what you read there...

Wrongplanet can be a good "online" survival guide. Just ask a question if you have a problem.

The original link to Marc Segar's guide is here: http://www.asperger-marriage.info/survg ... tents.html
He is mentioned in that wiki book, though his guide is a lot better... and doesn't have advice like: "To be able to "defeat" your autism spectrum problems, you must be able to think like a non-autistic."

As for full on... I would suggest just asking here... I don't know of any other online things... as for hard copy I can't recommend Tony Atwood's books enough. They are great. Require an actual purchase though.

Coping: A Survival Guide for People with Asperger Syndrome

The closest thing to that I know of was "The Well-Cultured Anonymous" by people who go to *chan sites. It may have a lot of chan memes/references but it's still good. I read some of it and well...try it.

I chose this as the stereotypical /b/tard is kind've like an autistic person, nerdy, not too social, etc. But /b/tards can be meaner

newer site updated. just clicky through

EDIT: just ignore the illegal stuff if it's there and you don't want to. Don't want anyone going to jail ("Partyvanned")

these are useful links. Thank you. Is this a good idea to look for those guides?

There is a very good book to obtain..."Solutions For Adults With AS: Maximizing The Benefits, Minimizing The Drawbacks To Achieve Success" by Juanita Lovett, Ph.D ...and which you may find helpful.
