People with Asperger Syndrome (AS) can be particularly at risk of
developing mental health difficulties such as anxiety and
depression. Here, adults with Asperger Syndrome speak out about
their own experiences of mental health issues, offering sound
advice for other Aspies and providing valuable insights for family,
friends and also for mental health professionals. Touching on
everything from difficulties at work and college to coping with low
self-confidence, self-harm, alcohol, misdiagnosis, sectioning,
counselling, medication and battles with mental health services,
the book provides a window into how people with AS experience
mental health issues, and what can be done to help. The individual
accounts describe innovative coping strategies and methods for
maintaining emotional and psychological wellbeing as well as
practical advice on things like how to stay positive and deal with
day-to-day stress and meltdowns. This is essential reading for
adults with Asperger Syndrome, and their families and friends, and
will be a useful resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, mental
health service providers and other professionals who support adults
with Asperger Syndrome.
