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.

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.

By	Hector "Hector" (England) - See all my reviews

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

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.
