How to Be Yourself in a World that's Different is an accessible
guide to Asperger's syndrome (AS) written for young readers who
have been diagnosed with AS and autism spectrum conditions. The
book features clear explanations of the condition, including
symptoms that are common to people on the autism spectrum, such as
a hypersensitivity to touch and difficulties with balance and
coordination. The characteristics and symptoms of other syndromes
that often coincide with AS are also discussed, for example AD/HD,
learning disorders and tics, as well as the temporary states of
mental dysfunction that people with AS tend to be predisposed to,
including depression, anxiety, obsessive and compulsive behaviors
and catatonia. This informative and encouraging text highlights the
positive aspects of autism spectrum conditions, such as diligence,
fairness and a knack for unique ideas, but it also acknowledges the
daily challenges faced by young people with AS and, crucially,
offers strategies for dealing with these. Using case examples,
Yoshida explores the difficulties of disclosing a diagnosis, takes
readers through the stages of practicing key social skills, and
offers advice on seeking support.
