The Owner's Manual, Volume Three: The Systems

Disclosure, work, healthcare, and asking for what already exists. Volume Three is the practical one. Disclosure is treated as a decision per person and per context rather than a single announcement, with four questions that settle most cases. Work covers requesting accommodation — often without naming a diagnosis, which is frequently the strongest position available. Healthcare covers getting usable care from a system that was not built for you. The Adult Systems covers what services exist and how to ask for them, and the last chapter is about people. Decision tables and plain scripts throughout, for autistic adults and anyone supporting one.

The download includes the volume as a PDF to print or read on screen, the same volume as a searchable web page that opens in any browser, and a short printable workbook for working through it page by page, with space to write.
