An autistic life is not an easy life. There is the potential for great stress and chronic exhaustion from trying to cope with social and sensory experiences, being misunderstood and criticized, high levels of anxiety and, for many reasons, not feeling in touch with or able to be the authentic self.


Written by autistic clinical psychologist Maja Toudal, and world-leading autism expert, Tony Attwood, this book combines lived and clinical experience to explain the Energy Accounting method for stress management, tailored for, but not exclusive to, autistic readers.


Delivering the first authoritative introduction to this practical, neurodiversity-affirming technique, Energy Accounting explores how strategies can be applied to your everyday life or explained to others and offers step-by-step instructions showing how adjustments can be made to reduce stress and increase energy and improve quality of life. Energy Accounting will be beneficial to anyone who experiences burnout or difficulties with stress management.
