Stuff You Need to Know - by Patricia Weaver (Paperback)

About the Book

This innovative workbook will help give lower-functioning adults with autism the knowledge they need to live safe, happy, and independent lives. Stuff You Need to Know is a guide to help young adults with autism learn the most basic skills to achieve independence. Finding suitable materials for adults with autism can be difficult. Most books are written for a younger age group, and those written for older individuals often contain too much text--which can be visual overload. This resource is created and designed for lower-functioning adults.
