Supporting someone with
Asperger's Syndrome (AS) can, at times, be frustrating and challenging.
But a greater knowledge and understanding of the problems facing people
with AS can make a huge difference to their lives.
This practical workbook was developed in consultation with carers,
and can be used in groups or with individuals, concentrating on
particular characteristics to learn more about the people you are
supporting, or it can be used as a resource for everyday information
seeking and problem solving. Atypical social behaviour and the
importance of routine are explained, as well as considering
relationships, emotions and mental health. Packed with exercises and
case vignettes to help you to get to know the person you are supporting
better, there is also a trouble-shooting section at the end of each
chapter with practical solutions for tackling common problems.
Working with Adults with Asperger Syndrome - A Practical Toolkit
offers an easy-to-use, person-centred approach, which will prove a
valuable resource for families, friends and a wide range of
professionals involved in supporting an adult with AS.
