Stop the World I Want to Get Off
A guide to understanding and supporting the recovery of autistic burnout in children and young people
By Jodie Clarke, Luke Beardon
Burnout is not (yet) a diagnosable condition, however, it is a mental health crisis. So often the signs of the daily/weekly cyclic burnout are there, and although many would view this as a child 'coping' or 'managing the school day' it is unsustainable and will ultimately need to the complete burnout Rose identifies.
Many autistic children are completely unable to manage parties at weekends, play dates after school, holidays even - not necessarily because of their general autistic needs but because they are so heightened by exhaustion.
These children end up in a constant state of high alert. This, over prolonged periods of time, causes trauma and leads to that full-scale burnout. This book aims to help parents and professionals identify and take steps to prevent low-level burnout erupting into longer-term shutdown, and provides advice and guidance to support recovery if shutdown has occurred.

The book empowers children with language to understand their experiences, offers suggestions on what the child can do to cope, and offering advice and support for parents and carers too.

Under the Radar
An Essential Guide to Autism and Girls
By Emilia Misheva
What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of autism? Often, it’s a boy who struggles with friendships, but who loves trains and is great at maths. While this may reflect the experiences of some autistic people, recent years research has shown that many others don’t conform to this image. The historical perception of autism as a "male condition" and simplistic stereotypes have led to an underidentification of autism in some girls and women - and, indeed, in all people, regardless of gender, who do not fit this mould. This concise, easy-to-understand book draws on lived experience and research to offer a popular science overview of this important topic, exploring the differing presentations of autism that are common in girls, and why referring to male and female autism is too reductive.
