A Self-Determined Future with Asperger Syndrome presents an
empowering, practical approach to helping people with Asperger
Syndrome (AS) to succeed at college, at work, at home and in life.
The authors highlight how treating AS as a `problem' is
unproductive, and advocate a solution focused approach which
recognizes and uses the strengths of people with AS to foster
mutual respect and understanding. Drawing on both their personal
experience and knowledge of counselling, the authors use anecdotes
and stories to show how people with AS cope in day-to-day
situations. They also illustrate how effective communication and
understanding of a person's needs and goals are key to improving
daily life for people with AS. The final section of the book
comprises practical worksheets and resources to help people with AS
to recognize their achievements and work towards their goals. This
book will be of interest to people who are affected by AS, their
families, and the people who work with them.
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.
