Paving the Way for Autism Parents Through Storytelling
Coming soon – Dr. Janet’s new book! Behind the Wheel with Autism: How to Remove Barriers to Driving for Autistic Teens and Adults
What if I said you probably have some barriers you don’t even know about? That driving could be safer and more enjoyable than it is now? A full, rich life awaits many of you on the autism spectrum─this book gives you the tools for a successful launch!
Behind the Wheel with Autism addresses the IMMEDIATE NEED of the hundreds of thousands of autistic teens and adults who are ready for an opportunity to gain independence and more fully experience life. Having a PLAN will put many of you on the road with a driver’s license.
I’ve seen firsthand how a driver’s license unlocks the world and lowers barriers to employment, higher education, and being able to function more independently as part of the community and the world. Those who cannot drive may experience isolation, lost opportunities, and underemployment.
Because it includes the viewpoints and experiences of #actuallyautistic teens and adults, their families, doctors, therapists, researchers, and driving professionals, Behind the Wheel with Autism will offer well-rounded, sound, and valuable strategies. A true ACTION PLAN.
Over the space of eleven chapters, from the first step to the last, readers learn exactly what they need to do, and how.

Hear from Our Satisfied Readers The Joy Our Books Bring
“Loving the book!!!!!!! Taking tons of notes. Laughing and crying! She nailed it.”
“I NEEDED this book. When you sit around and feel helpless and hopeless, it wears on you. When you can read a book like this, recognize identical behavior in your child, and see that there is HOPE……it’s likea weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. Someone has already blazed a trail and you are happy to follow them!!!!!!!”
“I have a close to 8-year old who still wets the bed, currently has strep throat (she has had a tonsillectomy but she still gets it occasionally), and she’s always digging at her crotch, has the red ring around her bottom, and has a few “tic” like things she does. She also suffers horribly with eczema. My jaw almost hit the floor when I was reading. I will be reading this several times and passing the word onto a couple of friends in similar situations!!”
BUY THIS BOOK! The information it contains is transforming my son’s life for the better! THANK YOU, DR. LINTALA!
From a Facebook Comment: “I bought it last night and can’t put it down! It’s already answering so many questions we have! I’ve recommended it to our therapists working with our son and starting (t)he action plan today!! Thank you!”
