The Autistic Adult's Toolboxby Natalie Diggins

The Essentials: For educators & students

A field-ready text for the adult-autism conversation.

Written for use, not just to be cited. Adoptable in clinical training, social work, OT, psychology, and disability studies programs.


The Toolbox fills a clear gap in the existing literature: a practical, first-person reference for adult autism, written by an autistic adult, organized around reusable tools rather than diagnostic criteria. Each chapter ends with a worksheet that students can complete and discuss.
