Vincent Traynor, Associate Professor of Change Leadership, Sheffield Business School

'With this book, Jonathan offers us the gift of a veritable view from within the world of autistic experience, a perspective that takes seriously the notion that practical knowledge about human experience is the royal road - and the active principle - for understanding how our minds are not isolated but work together to bring forth meaningful worlds.'

Amy Cohen Varela, Clinical Psychologist, Chair of Mind & Life Europe, Switzerland

'The principles of Autism Dialogue are eloquently explained in this innovative book. It provides the reader with insights into a strengths-based approach that can empower. The author invites us to consider the richness of lived experiences via self and mutual understanding. This approach has great potential to reduce harmful societal misunderstandings of autism. The Autism Dialogue Approach needs to be embraced.'
