Born with autism, Temple and Sean now live successful social lives. However, the paths to their success were quite different.
Temple’s logical mind controlled her social behaviour. She interacted with many adults and other children, experiencing varied social situations, and logic informed her decision to obey social rules and avoid unpleasant consequences.
Sean’s emotions, on the other hand, controlled his social behaviour. Baffled by social rules, isolated and friendless, he made up his own and applied them to others, but when they inevitably broke his rules, he felt unloved.
Both Temple and Sean ultimately came to terms with the social world and found their places within it.
Whether you are a person with autism, a caregiver in the autism community, or just someone interested in an outsider view of society, their powerful stories will enthral and enlighten you.
The award-winning Mary Wrobel returns with further guidance for adolescents with ASD

Paperback 9781941765302 £21.50 / €25.00
Taking Care of Myself2 is written specifically for teenagers and young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). It is an instructional book to be used by parents, instructors, therapists, and individuals on the autism spectrum.
Most of the information is written concisely and simple how-to lists are included, making it a great book to use in an instructional setting, especially for those individuals who are familiar with this type of format.
Teenagers and young adults with ASD typically want what everyone in their age group wants – to be able to fit in and be as independent as possible, and to develop relationships, including friendships and loving, intimate relationships.
Mary Wrobel gives advice on looking and acting appropriately and feeling comfortable in public and social situations. Topics such as dressing for different events, feeling anxious in social situations, social media, and public versus private behaviours are included.
The book also covers becoming independent by understanding and managing health and personal and sexual safety to the best of one’s ability, including staying healthy and coping with anxiety and depression.
