Product Description
Product Description
Autism is a condition which renders the sufferer incapable of understanding meaning ′beyond the information given′. The autistic person has a purely literal relationship with reality and has difficulty in developing imagination. Theo Peeters regards autistic people as ′hyperrealist′ in a world of ′surrealism′ that we call ′normal′. Paradoxically, it is lack of imagination that makes dealing with an absence of imagination so difficult. This book not only provides a theoretical understanding of the condition to help carers to adapt to the autistic person′s way of thinking, but also offers practical intervention strategies for education and treatment.
