  Autism – that’s being able to count matches really fast and knowing that 7 August 1984 was a Tuesday, right? Well, no. In this book, Bianca Toeps explains in great detail what life is like when you’re autistic.She does this by looking at what science says about autism (and why some theories can go straight in the bin), but also by telling her own story and interviewing other autistics. Bianca talks in a refreshing and sometimes hilarious way about different situations autistic people encounter in daily life. She has some useful tips for non-autistic people too: what you should do if someone prefers not to look you in the eye, why it is sometimes better to communicate by email, and, most important of all, why it is not a compliment if you say: “But you don’t look autistic at all!”

  Being out of work is no fun, you can't spend on what you want you are tied to where you are and you can't contribute to society. It is also difficult for many as they are faced with people who are there to help but offer little if nothing because they are not capable of seeing themselves what you seek. To them you need a job, full stop, they don't care what and why and that is where it all breaks down. There are solutions and opportunities, Governments have targets and that's it they don't care whether you are happy or not as long as you fill a target place so the journey can be lonely. But you can do it and with a good attitude you can make it too.
