I Think I Might Be Autistic
Author: Cynthia Kim
Publisher: Narrow Gauge Press
ISBN: 9780989597111
Category : Asperger's syndrome
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
What if instead of being weird, shy, geeky or introverted, your brain is wired differently? For adults with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder (ASD), there is often an "aha!" moment--when you realize that ASD just might be the explanation for why you've always felt so different. "I Think I Might Be Autistic: A Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorder Diagnosis and Self-Discovery for Adults" begins from that "aha!' moment, addressing the many questions that follow. What do the symptoms of ASD look like in adults? Is getting a diagnosis worth it? What does an assessment consist of and how can you prepare for it? Cynthia Kim shares the information, insights, tips, suggestions and resources she gathered as part of her own journey from "aha!" to finally being diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in her forties. This concise guide also addresses important aspects of living with ASD as a late-diagnosed adult, including coping with the emotional impact of discovering that you're autistic and deciding who to share your diagnosis with and how.

I am Special
Author: Peter Vermeulen
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
ISBN: 1846421926
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
I am Special is a workbook developed by Peter Vermeulen and already used extensively with young people with autism spectrum disorder. The workbook is designed for a child to work through with an adult - parent, teacher or other professional. Unlike other books, its content and layout are devised especially for children who read, think and process information differently. I am Special is divided into two parts. The first is a theoretical introduction that explains how to inform children that they have autism or Asperger Syndrome and how to use the worksheets with groups or individuals. The second part consists of a series of worksheets which the child works through with an adult to create a unique and personal book about him or herself. It includes a series of exercises that present autism positively. They strike a balance between general facts, information about autism and personal information, covering the strengths an autistic person may have as well as the difficulties they may face. I am Special can be used with young people over the age of ten years. Not only is it an excellent source of information for the autistic child; it can be the first step in a process of counselling or psychotherapy or the springboard for a discussion group on autism.

Book Description
A modern approach to relationships This book is a transformative, do-it-yourself guide for anyone who wants to do better in love. It is not about working together with your partner on your issues (so if you're in a relationship, don't let your partner read it over your shoulder!). It's not about bringing out the toolkit and trying to 'fix' yourself (nor is it about pointing the finger at your partner!). It's about figuring out who you are - or become - when you're in a relationship. It's about knowing your strengths, triggers, reactions and vulnerabilities. It's about having tools you can use to cope with challenges, iron out your difficulties and work towards being content and at ease in your relationships, your own unique version of a Good Partner.
