The DBT Workbook for ADHD and Autism — Hardcover

Standard DBT workbooks were not designed with autistic or ADHD brains in mind — and for many neurodivergent people, that gap shows up quickly. The pacing, the assumptions about emotional awareness, the framing around willingness and distress tolerance, the absence of sensory regulation as a foundation — these are not small gaps. The DBT Workbook for ADHD and Autism by Lia Tucker is a 120-page hardcover workbook designed specifically to address that mismatch. It covers rejection sensitivity, meltdown and shutdown differences, executive function challenges, sensory regulation, masking, alexithymia-informed emotion identification, relationship communication, and time blindness — with modifications designed for how ADHD and autistic nervous systems actually process and respond, rather than how standard DBT frameworks assume they do.

We carry this at EOWD because neurodiversity-informed emotional skills resources that acknowledge the specific ways ADHD and autism interact with DBT concepts — rather than simply applying neurotypical frameworks and expecting them to land — are genuinely hard to find. For autistic adults, ADHD adults, and AuDHD individuals who have tried standard workbooks and found them frustrating or inaccessible, this is a resource that starts from a different premise. For caregivers, partners, and professionals supporting neurodivergent people, it offers a more grounded framework for understanding what emotional regulation actually looks like when sensory processing, executive function, and rejection sensitivity are all part of the picture.

This workbook supports emotional-skills learning, self-reflection, relationship awareness, rejection-sensitivity conversations, self-advocacy, and neurodiversity-informed growth. It is a supportive learning resource — not therapy, diagnosis, treatment, crisis care, or a universal solution for every autistic, ADHD, or AuDHD person. It does not treat ADHD or autism, prevent meltdowns, eliminate rejection sensitivity, fix relationships, replace DBT therapy, or replace counseling. Individual responses vary. Always consult a qualified mental health professional, DBT therapist, or crisis support provider for therapeutic or medical decisions.
