Samenvatting:

Opening Boxes: How to Navigate Life When You Have Autism offers a practical, compassionate guide for autistic adults seeking clarity, confidence, and better connections in daily life. Drawing from his own late-in-life autism diagnosis, Jay Rothman shares the misunderstandings, challenges, and breakthroughs that shaped his journey – and uses those experiences to help others avoid the same obstacles.

Through relatable stories and clear guidance, Rothman explains how autistic people can communicate more effectively with neurotypicals, build healthy relationships, pursue education and employment, and navigate situations that often become stumbling blocks. He also addresses topics rarely discussed in autism books, including the role of dreams and long-term goals, and how to turn sadness and frustration into resilience and forward momentum.

Opening Boxes is both a personal story and a practical roadmap – a supportive companion for anyone on the autism spectrum, and an eye-opening resource for those who love, live with, or work with autistic individuals.
