Overview:
This Autism 3 Books Collection Set brings together three landmark non-fiction titles exploring autism from complementary angles: everyday anxiety management, adult diagnosis, and the wider social history of neurodiversity. Written by autism specialist Dr Luke Beardon and acclaimed journalist Steve Silberman, the set pairs practical, lived-experience guidance with rigorous, myth-busting research. It's an ideal starting point for autistic adults, families, carers, educators and professionals wanting a rounded, evidence-based understanding of autism in adulthood.

About the Books:
Avoiding Anxiety in Autistic Adults examines everyday situations that feel benign to neurotypical people but cause real stress for autistic adults — at work, university, in social settings and unfamiliar places. Dr Beardon offers clear, upbeat strategies for reducing anxiety and practical guidance for those who live and work alongside autistic people. Autism in Adults (Overcoming Common Problems), also by Dr Beardon, reframes autism as cognitive difference rather than deficit, tackling communication, relationships, employment and diagnosis, dismantling stereotypes with actionable, empowering advice. NeuroTribes by Steve Silberman takes a historical, journalistic approach, tracing autism research to its origins, the scientists who shaped our understanding, and the rise of the neurodiversity movement. Winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize for Non-Fiction, it challenges assumptions and celebrates cognitive difference. Together, these three books offer a comprehensive education: practical coping tools, an empowering reframing of autism, and a sweeping historical account of its evolving understanding.
