The Autistic Teen Girl's School Survival Guide

by Gracie Barlow

Navigating school can be tough, especially if you're neurodivergent. Sensory overload, confusing social situations, misdiagnoses, and the stress of masking it all can leave you feeling lost and misunderstood. But it doesn't have to be this way - this guide is here to help!
Written by an autistic person who's been there, Gracie Barlow has lots of super helpful advice for you on learning, communicating, and making friends. You'll also get real-life tips on how you can stay safe and understand yourself better.
It's not just a guide for you - there are lots of practical tips on how your school and your family can make small changes to help you thrive. This guide also helps people who have ADHD and are struggling with the mental health challenges that sometimes come with being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.
And when it's time to move on from school this guide will be with you every step of the way, with tips and advice on work or further study so you don't have to face those next steps alone.
