For people with Asperger Syndrome (AS), coping with a world that seems foreign to them and battling with everyday struggles can all too often lead to depression. Looking at why people on the spectrum are more likely to suffer and how to both prevent and ameliorate it, this book is here to help. In the first book on depression written specifically for adults with Asperger Syndrome, Nick Dubin offers accessible and sensitive advice on how individuals with AS can manage their emotions, exploring what can lead to them feeling down, how this can escalate, and how to take positive steps toward recover. Sharing examples from his own life, he outlines how he has dealt with depression, considering everything from initial feelings of anger and frustration to medication, cognitive behavioral therapy and overcoming 'the dark night of the soul.' The book also includes a chapter on suicide, and useful interviews with his parents and clinicians specializing in AS. Non-judgmental and genuinely helpful throughout, this book provides real solutions to a problem that is frequently overlooked. It will be essential reading for those AS who suffer from symptoms of depression, and will also be of interest to family members, teachers and other professionals working with AS individuals of all ages.
