Product Description

Synopsis

This book uncovers the puzzling behaviour by children and youths with Asperger Syndrome (AS) that have a sensory base and, therefore, are often difficult to pinpoint and interpret. Written in a very reader-friendly style, the book covers the impact of the sensory system on behaviour, reviews formal and informal assessment tools and offers an invaluable set of practical interventions that can be used by parents and educators alike to help promote success for children and youths with AS. The "sensory gang"- a set of clever icons used throughout the book- helps the reader navigate between the senses.

ONLY FOR NON-ASPERGERS 22 Jun 2001
By D. Agrawal - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am an adult with Aspergers and bought the book after reading the great reviews here. Although it is a good book that shows some aspects of the Aspergers world to outsiders, for us who live and swim in it, this was an unsatisfying book. It merely scratches the surface of our world. Buy it if you want just a glimpse in.

Informative and entertaining in equal measures 25 Jun 2003
By John Harpur - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book brings a much more detailed perspective on early adult life on the autistic spectrum than many others. The fact that it is looking at AS through a man's eyes is also worth noting. The author touchs on career choice issues that many with AS have agonised over. To disclose or not to disclose being the Big Question. I won't spoil your reading by recounting the author's experiences.

The book describes 'relationships' in candid AS terms. There is a huge amount here for researchers and professionals to dwell on. However, the book is not a guidebook for managing relationships better (or even getting into them) and a crucial metacommentary on events in the book is largely absent.

Overall I enjoyed this book. Most readers will find the latter half of the book dealing with college and adult life more revealing than the first half, in my opinion. The book presents AS in sharp tones on occasion. It is a 'warts and all' narrative, but I highly recommend reading it.

valuable information 29 Nov 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
For several years those who work with children with Aspeger Syndrome have recognized that they have sensory issues that may require modifications. This book explains what these issues are and presents strategies that can make a difference in the lives of children with Asperger Syndrome.
