Product Description

Product Description
Written for parents and professionals, this text offers practical solutions to the day-to-day challenges facing individuals with Asperger Syndrome, and their families. The book discusses how to deal with tantrums, meltdowns and difficult behaviour. Topics covered include: the characteristics of Asperger Syndrome and their impact on behaviour, stages of the meltdown cycle, the role of antecedent behaviours, functional assessment, strategies promoting social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management, solutions for parents, including organization and support, and daily routines. The book's main focus is on various stages of the meltdown cycle and functional analysis as a means of determining why behaviours occur.

From the Publisher
This book was originally published as Asperger Syndrome and Rage (ISBN 0967251400). The title has been changed to better reflect the book's contents. Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments: Practical Solutions for Tantrums, Rage and Meltdowns is identical (except for the title) to Asperger Syndrome and Rage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much for Parents or Partners, more for Teachers, 15 Jan 2005
By Keith Appleyard "kapple999" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
A little misleading, in that the sub-title is 'Practical Solutions for Tantrums, Rage & Meltdown'. I was looking for something for Rage & Meltdowns in Adults as much as in Children, but when you get beyond the Introduction, the techniques are all aimed at in a Teacher-Pupil setting, less so in a Parent-Child or Partner-Partner setting?

Only the last Chapter (10 pages) specifically addressed the role of Parents.

What I did greatly benefit from was the first chapter (23 pages), which gave one of the most comprehensive descriptions and explanations of Aspergers I've read in any book.

5.0 out of 5 stars When you have almost given up hope, 19 Mar 2004
By A Customer
I work with Asperger children and this book has certainly helped me deal with many a behaviour. I have and would recommend this book to anyone who has or works with AS children.It has given me hope and a better understanding of their limitations and allowed me to stretch my bounderies even further. I can only assure anyone reading this that this little book will give you strength to carry on, even when you think you cant take anymore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best available guide - for adult tantrums too, 3 Mar 2007
For people struggling with Asperger-type tantrums/breakdowns/lock-ups/rage, this book offers many insights and strategies to understand, prevent and manage the behaviour. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
I was looking for answers but this book didn't really help. More useful for school than home.
