Product Description

Synopsis

People with Asperger Syndrome (AS) understand and respond to the world in a very different way from people without this condition. The challenge for psychotherapists working with Asperger clients lies in setting aside their own preconceptions and learning to understand their client's perspective. Behaviour that, in a "neurotypical" client, may be evidence of a problem, in an Asperger client may simply be a manifestation of Asperger ways of approaching the world. Paula Jacobsen demonstrates, through case studies, how to interpret classic theories in relation to people with AS. The volume should be of use to people with AS and their family and friends, as well as to professionals.

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique insight into the Asperger mind, 29 Oct 2005
By punk_kimono (London, England) - See all my reviews
In many books, the features of Asperger's Syndrome (AS) are described as they appear to others; in this book, the author tells the inside story. I am an adult with AS, and this book helped me to explain for the first time to my family what was going on in my head. Compared to the 'neurotypical' people around me, I have such unusual patterns of thinking . What I find most distressing is being unable to understand and explain to other people these ways of perceiving and thinking about things . Now I can! It has made such a difference to me: it's as though I've been given the key to a prison that I have been in all my life.

This book is rare among books about AS because it takes an inside approach; it focuses on patterns of thinking and the problems that arise from this. The author is a psychotherapist with many years experience of working with AS. She has enormous insight and understanding, and I found myself thinking "Yes!! That's EXACTLY IT!!!" in response to just about every paragraph.

Another useful book on the subject is "Autistic Thinking: this is the title" by Peter Vermeulen.
