Let's face it, other humans can be difficult to understand sometimes!
There is no need to worry! Yenn, Tanya and a tiny meerkat called Min are here to help you find out everything you need to know about friendships, improving relationships with your family members, and how to deal with issues and arguments that can arise with the people in your life.
Answering the difficult questions like 'What makes a good friend?' and 'Why do adults tell me to do things?' this book gives you helpful tips, tricks, and advice you need to help you understand other humans whilst staying true to your own awesome autistic self!

Industry Reviews
Humans! We are a complex bunch. We all have to live together on one small planet and that is not always easy. The Awesome Autistic Guide to Other Humans is a deceptively simple little book that, if followed, could bring harmony amongst autistic and neurotypical family and friends, and who knows could spread throughout the world. World Peace for Humans! Now wouldn't that be something! -- Kathy Hoopman, author of the All About series
Insightful, funny, relatable and inclusive. This book about humans, friendships and being autistic or not, is a very helpful guide to working out non-romantic human relationships. It also includes easy activities cementing our learning. Meet Min and travel on this journey together. -- Dr. Wenn B. Lawson (PhD)
