Synopsis

The new 10th anniversary edition of bestselling autistic teen guide to social rules.

Being a teen or tween is tough for anyone. And if you're on the Autism Spectrum, life can feel like a game you're playing without knowing the rules. Jennifer Cook knows - she's been there! Her internationally bestselling handbook is the key to unlocking those unwritten, often confusing, not-so-obvious social guidelines and bolstering confidence, all at once.

Finally, teens can play the game of life with instructions. The 10th Anniversary Edition of The (Secret) Book of Social Rules reveals the essential secrets behind the baffling social codes surrounding making and keeping friends, dating, and catastrophic conversation pitfalls, with all-new content on social media and talking about neurodiversity. It's no wonder Jennifer's is the navigation tool tens of thousands of fans have come to love! Full of take-it-from-me explanations this Book of the Year award winner is real, positive, and speaks from the heart (without ever sounding like your mother's guide to manners). It's confidence, humor, and smarts. For the Human Spectrum.

This is definitely a fantastic concept. As a person who is neurotypical, I don't feel qualified to evaluate the effectiveness of the guidance and advice provided, but I have confidence in the author as an Own Voices writer. I can say that all of the rules described made sense and seemed accurate to......more

Goodreads review by April on June 17, 2023

I got this book because one of my kids was recently diagnosed, but as I read it…I realized either I was a hypochondriac (definitely possible) or I have always had Aspberger’s too (??!?) Some chapters were definitely more helpful than others, and I love how it incorporates quotes from “How to Win Fri......more

I’m going to start this review by saying that I’m actually an adult, rather than a teenager. Additionally, I have not been officially diagnosed with Autism. Instead I have had two professionals who are not qualified to give Autism diagnoses in my province (a doctor and a counsellor) tell me that I a......more
