More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Written for parents and professionals, Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments offers practical solutions to the day-to-day challenges facing individuals with Asperger Syndrome and their families. The book discusses clearly and concisely how to deal with tantrums, meltdowns and difficult behaviour from children and young people with Asperger Syndrome, looking in particular at the role of antecedent behaviours, which signal the beginning of a meltdown, as identified through functional assessment. 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; and solutions for parents, including organization and support, and daily routines.
The book's main focus is on the various stages of the meltdown cycle and functional analysis as a means of determining why behaviours occur. This is followed by a set of practical strategies that promote social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management. The book concludes with a chapter written specifically for parents, which offers concrete and easy-to-follow steps for developing a home plan that addresses agreement on the causes of problem behaviours, family organization and support, the LASTING word and designing a daily routine. Accompanying the clear and user-friendly writing style are a number of helpful reporting forms and other instruments that may be used by schools and parents as they work to reduce or eliminate such behaviour in children and young people with Asperger Syndrome.

Not much for Parents or Partners, more for Teachers,
By
This review is from: Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments : Practical Solutions for Tantrums, Rage and Meltdowns (Paperback)
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.

When you have almost given up hope,

This review is from: Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments : Practical Solutions for Tantrums, Rage and Meltdowns (Paperback)
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.
