Reviews"I can think of no one better than Dr. Sterling to write a book on social skills for autistic teens. It's full of practical tips and exercises that encourage teens to take an active role in building relationships with others. Teens will find this book an accessible and helpful read they can return to again and again as it simplifies our complex social world." --Lauren Elder, PhD, ABPP, Licensed Psychologist, " The Social Survival Guide For Teens on the Autism Spectrum by Dr. Lindsay Sterling is a well-written and easy-to-read volume that addresses one of the most important and challenging issues for individuals with autism spectrum disorders. It is a welcome addition to the literature for both the professional and the person on the autism spectrum. This is a wonderful guide for therapists and families to help their teens in developing critical social skills. It also addresses social media platforms, which is a subject that has not been addressed in previous volumes. I would highly recommend this volume to anyone working with or raising a teenager on the autism spectrum." --BJ Freeman, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Autism Spectrum Disorders, "I can think of no one better than Dr. Sterling to write a book on social skills for autistic teens.

But as a professional, I can easily see how it could help me, parents of teens, and other professionals trying to figure out these abstract social puzzles that are encountered daily. I recommend this book to all of us!" --Dr. Marjorie H. Charlop, Ph.D., BCBA, Professor of Psychology, and Director of Claremont Autism Center "As a psychologist who works with teens on the autism spectrum, I've been waiting for a book like this one! There are so many books written for parents and therapists. This one is written for the autistic teen in easy-to-understand language and focused on topics that are important to teens, such as how to make a friend. Parents will benefit from it reading too. I highly recommend this book." --Dr. Geraldine Dawson, Professor, Director, Duke Center for Autism and Brain Development, Duke University "I can think of no one better than Dr. Sterling to write a book on social skills for autistic teens.
