Synopsis

Straight talk, whether you're on the spectrum or supporting them.


In Autism, Not Attitude, authors Felicia M. L. Davis and Nancy Wainscott tackle one of society's most persistent mix-ups: mistaking autistic communication for rudeness, aloofness, or--let's be honest--straight-up attitude. With sharp insight and a generous sprinkle of humor, they illuminate the subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) misunderstandings that shape everyday interactions.


From bustling workplaces to chaotic living rooms, they usher readers through the misinterpretations that often leave autistic individuals unfairly judged and unjustly sidelined. Their stories--equal parts funny, touching, and eye-opening--reveal the rich strengths, talents, and perspectives that flourish when we shift from snap judgments to genuine curiosity.


Whether you are neurodiverse or interact with those who are, all readers will uncover practical strategies to reduce conflict, build trust, and foster more inclusive, collaborative spaces where everyone can shine.


Ultimately, this book invites you to trade assumptions for understanding and to celebrate the extraordinary ways autistic minds enrich our world. Clever, compassionate, and disarmingly real, Autism, Not Attitude shows that the "fine line" we tiptoe around isn't a barrier--it's an opportunity to build a bridge.
