Written by neuropsychologist Theresa M. Regan, PhD, CAS, this book explains how social connection actually works—and why it can feel so complex.
Drawing from more than 30 years of clinical experience and over 1,000 autism evaluations in adolescents and adults, Dr. Regan translates research into real-life application.
Inside, you will learn how to:
• Recognize the difference between task-focused and relationship-focused communication
• Strengthen conversational skills without sacrificing authenticity
• Navigate compliments, gratitude, and emotional reciprocity
• Approach conflict without falling into “all good” or “all bad” thinking
• Repair misunderstandings and rebuild trust
This book does not promote masking or changing who you are. Instead, it increases clarity—about your own communication style, about the expectations of others, and about how neurological differences influence interaction.
Whether you are an autistic adult seeking insight, a spouse or partner wanting to strengthen connection, a parent supporting growth, or a clinician working with neurodiverse clients, this book provides structured guidance grounded in compassion.
