The road ahead can be difficult for parents and caregivers, too, especially because the teenage years can involve surprising changes in their child and in society's expectations of them.\n This concise, readable book offers the latest in evidence-based information about what happens when autism and adolescence intersect. The book covers the teen years, addressing middle school and high school, along with the transition period from high school into adulthood and, where relevant, college.
