One valuable tip from this book is the importance of developing
self-advocacy skills. This involves teaching individuals on the autism
spectrum to understand their own needs, strengths, and challenges
and to communicate these effectively to others.
By fostering self-awareness and encouraging young adults to express
their preferences and accommodations, they can better navigate
educational settings, the workplace, and social situations. This skill
not only helps in building confidence but also plays a crucial role in
achieving greater independence and self-sufficiency.
这本书中的一个宝贵建议是要帮助自闭症谱系的人开发自我倡导技
能。也就是说，要教导他们了解自己的需求、优点、和面临的挑
战，并有效地将这些信息传达给他人。
通过培养他们的自我意识，并鼓励他们表达自身的偏好和所需要的
空间，使他们可以更好地适应教育环境、职场和社交场合。掌握这
项技能不仅有助于建立自信，对实现更大的独立性，和达到自给自
足也至关重要。
