Product Description

Increasing numbers of adults are realising that they have been living with an undiagnosed developmental condition, yet most information and support focuses on children. This leaves many adults confused and in the dark. "The Adolescent and Adult Neuro-Diversity Handbook" is a handy first-reference point guide to the full range of developmental conditions as they affect adolescents and adults. Each chapter focuses on a different condition, describing its history, causes and characteristics, its implications for the individual, diagnosis and assessment, treatments and approaches, and strategies for providing support and self-support. A wide range of conditions are covered, including Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, OCD, Tourette's and Anxiety Disorders. "The Adolescent and Adult Neuro-Diversity Handbook" is an invaluable resource for health and social care practitioners, as well as for individuals who feel that they may be living with an undiagnosed developmental condition.

Nuero-diversity 30 May 2011

By Dr. Damon Labarbera - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a clearly written book on neuro-diversity, sort of a primer. Neuro-diversity is a conceptualzation of certain psychological and neurological conditions, and a term that that has in recent years attained a wide explanatory niche. Included amongst neuro-diverse individuals are those with diagnoses of Aspergers, autism, dyslexia, Tourette's and so forth. Focus here is on the adolescent manifestation of these disorders. The style and presentation of the book hit the ear a bit differently, since it was written in England, and some of the listed resources, or turns of phrase, are British rather than American, but that really seems a plus. Also, she includes disorders not often, to my knowledge, subsumed under the neuro-diversity umbrella, such as anxiety disorders. Nonetheless, the book is nicely written, intelligent and practical rather than intently scholarly, full of personal vignettes, and tips for dealing with these disorders at a personal level or interacting and helping those others who are neuro-diverse. Damon LaBarbera, Ph.D.
