Social Stories are acknowledged as a very successful way of teaching concepts and social understanding to individuals with autism spectrum conditions. The latest addition to the Growing Up with Social Stories series, this standalone guide focuses on some of the most common issues that arise during a young adult's life.  
 
The stories and articles engage with the various stages of applying for a job, adjusting to a work environment, maintaining physical and mental health, and staying safe. Along with the sample stories are explanations of how to create your own story to develop further understanding and draw connections between each story and the issues they depict. From practical skills such as dressing for an interview, to identifying emotions and recognising symptoms of depression, this book takes Social Stories a step further and adapts them to the realities of adult life.
1. Applying for a job. 2. Preparing for an interview. 3. How to be a good colleague at work. 4. Looking after my physical health. 5. Looking after my mental health. 6. Staying safe in my home.
I found this book absolutely fascinating. It really made me think just how much social information you need in all the different aspects of life. What's great too is that it's not just a book of Social Articles - it's a book about why they are needed. Covering vital adult topics such as job-hunting, the workplace, maintaining health and learning about life stories, the book works well for readers of different neurotypes, as well as those supporting autistic people across the spectrum.
