Drawing from her personal experiences, Judy Endow, author of the 2010 and 2011 <em>Hidden Curriculum Calendars</em>, provides lots of hidden curriculum items that pertain to most areas of adult life. In relating how she personally has learned to more successfully manoeuvre social interactions, she also presents a framework for developing the ability to more quickly assess a situation and take steps to avoid making social blunders BEFORE they have been committed. A sampling of strategies includes Pause and Match, Laugh Along, Recognise and Expand Black-and-White Thinking, and It Is Not Necessary to Report All My Truths. Judy’s framework enables readers to learn to create their own social “rules” and, as a result, live freer, more successful lives. The fact that the book is written by an autistic person who has learned by trial and error makes it all the more valuable.
