Friendships. Family. Partners. Neighbours. Colleagues. Coffee Baristas. The best bits of life usually involve other people. Yet, if socialisation is the defining hallmark of the human species, then to be born with the key social differences of autism is about as (cruelly? ironically?) dis-abling as it gets. This is where Ben Aadario (real-life autistic, and author of ‘The Rules of Being Autistic’ series) offers a unique advantage to the curious (and brave) autistic reader – in explaining the wealth of everyday ‘invisible’ mechanics of socialisation. Clarifying all the unvoiced truths that caregivers forgot to teach, Ben Aadario adopts a stance akin to a social anthropologist, zoologist or even curious visiting alien.
