As someone with Asperger Syndrome, Wendy Lawson knows all about the
social difficulties that accompany the condition. In this book, she
guides others on the autism spectrum through the confusing map of
life, tackling the building bricks of social existence one by one
with humour, insight and practical suggestions. Exploring what it
is like to be an adult in an alien world, she looks at the concepts
of 'self' and 'other' and talks about the people in our lives - how
to relate to them, how we can use their support and how we can
protect ourselves in the process. Using poetry and illustrations,
she goes on to explain the difficult notion of `putting on a face',
looks at how to assess personal skills in order to develop them
into a suitable career and how to deal with unwelcome changes in
life. This book is essential reading for all those on the
higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum, helping them to get
the best out of a world that is often confusing and aiding those
close to them to understand their perspective.
