Paperback. Condition: New. Coming Out Asperger explores the complexity of diagnosis for Asperger Syndrome, the drawbacks and benefits of disclosing a diagnosis of a "hidden disability," and how this impinges on self-esteem. The contributors include some of the best-known and most exciting writers in the field of Asperger Syndrome (AS) today, and include individuals on the autism spectrum, parents and professionals.

Paperback. Condition: New. Information technology (IT) has great potential to be an effective and empowering means of communication for people with communication difficulties. Getting IT explores how IT can help such people increase their independence, communicate in more direct ways and express themselves as part of society.Authors Dinah Murray and Ann Aspinall examine common problems faced by people with learning and communication difficulties - being judged on appearances, encountering impatience from communication partners, problems identifying and understanding key information and difficulties communicating decisions. They show how IT can help solve these problems: for example internet search tools for accessing information at home, typing and email as socially neutral, universally acceptable modes of expression, anonymous, non-judgmental internet chatrooms and discussion forums. Three central case studies illustrate how IT improved the lives of Kumar who is on the autism spectrum, Marie who has dementia and Irene who is almost completely nonverbal. The book also provides practical guidance on how to use common IT programs including Powerpoint and gives an overview of the technology available for people with specific difficulties. Useful resources and organisations are supplied at the end of the book.Getting IT shows the power of IT to help people with communication difficulties satisfy the universal human need to communicate. This book will inspire carers, teachers, psychologists, parents and other professionals to use IT with people with communication difficulties, and will expand the skills and knowledge of those who already do.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. With contributions from some of the best-known and most exciting writers in the field of Autism and Asperger Syndrome (AS), this new book examines AS diagnosis and disclosure (selective or otherwise) from many different perspectives. Drawing on anecdotal, professional and research-based evidence, Coming Out Asperger looks at the impact on children and adults of an AS diagnosis, as well as the effect on parents, teachers, colleagues, siblings and partners. Having considered the social model of disability and the role of diagnosis within it, the contributors go on to cover a range of issues, from the effect of a diagnosis on self-confidence and esteem (Liane Holliday Willey), to a clinician's view of sensitively disclosing a diagnosis to parents (Tony Attwood). Luke Jackson and Eoin Mason write first hand about the effect of being diagnosed with and experiencing AS as children and adolescents; Jacqui Jackson and Jennifer Overton look at how a diagnosis impacts upon family life and how to tell children that they have AS. The ever-difficult question of who and when to tell once a diagnosis has been confirmed, and how to deal with relationships and sexuality, are also discussed.This book is an essential guide for people with AS, parents, teachers, professionals and all those who have ever felt confused about revealing a personal issue.
