Lipsky, a high-functioning autistic individual with experience in emergency and trauma management as a firefighter, emergency medical technician, and reserve police officer and who consults on meltdown management and environmental manipulation to reduce sensory issues, shares the differences in how people with autism grieve and deal with loss and ways to support them. She explains how they deal with stress, problems, and grief in comparison to people who do not have autism, such as in their need for solitude and routine; their emotional expressions of grief; how to help them deal with cultural expectations at a funeral; how to communicate with them; how to tell them that someone has died; and how death can sometimes become their special interest.
