The Aspie Girl's Guide to Being Safe with Men / Debi BROWN
Titre : The Aspie Girl's Guide to Being Safe with Men : The Unwritten Safety Rules No-one is Telling You Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Debi BROWN, Auteur ; Sarah ATTWOOD, Préfacier, etc. Editeur : Londres [Angleterre] : Jessica Kingsley Publishers Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 176 p. Format : 23,4cm x 15,6cm x 1,2cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84905-354-9 Note générale : Bibliogr., Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Femme Index. décimale : ASP-E ASP-E - Asperger - Féminin Résumé : For Aspie girls and women, dating and sexual relationships can be confusing, intimidating and potentially dangerous. Even if actively avoiding romantic relationships or sexual encounters, a lack of understanding about acceptable social interaction between men and women can leave Aspies vulnerable to negative experiences. It is vital, therefore, that the facts and unwritten rules about sexual conduct and relationships are clearly laid out for girls and women on the spectrum.
Understanding that Aspies need explanations to be explicit and unambiguous, Debi Brown, a female on the spectrum, presents the truth about sex and relationships, shares her personal insight and provides practical strategies for staying safe in many different situations. As she guides Aspies through the unwritten safety rules around dating, relationships and sex, her advice will empower females on the spectrum, allowing them to build up their knowledge, recognise and report abusive behaviour, understand boundaries, develop relationship skills and work towards a safe independence. Covering topics such as boyfriends, sex, pregnancy and rape, this book includes advice on building a support network, saying 'no', self-esteem and emotional healing and will prepare Aspie girls and women to make independent, informed and safe decisions when interacting with men.
Written with warmth, honesty and understanding, this is essential reading for every Aspie girl and woman, from age 13 upwards. It will also be a valuable source of insight and advice for parents, friends, professionals and anyone else supporting a female on the autism spectrum.

The book has its basis in the autism job club that the authors have been part of in the San Francisco Bay Area, the job-creation and job-placement efforts the club has undertaken, and similar efforts throughout the United States.
The authors review the high unemployment rates among adults with autism and other neuro- diverse conditions more than two decades after the ADA. National data on autism employment and unemployment with the individual employment searches of job club members.
Bernick and Holden also outline and explain six strategies that, taken together, will reshape employment for adults with autism:
*The art of the autism job coach.
*The autism advantage in technology employment.
*Autism employment and the internet economy.
*Autism employment and the practical/craft economy.
*Autism and extra-governmental job networks.
*Autism and public service employment.
The Autism Job Club will be a vital resource for adults with autism, their families, and advocates who are committed to neuro-diverse employment, not unemployment. But it will also speak to a far broader audience interested in how to carve out a place for themselves or others in an increasingly competitive job world.

Autism is not a single disease entity but rather a syndrome of different diseases.

Asperger syndrome is the subject of a separate chapter. Epidemiology, neuropsychological studies and behaviour complexes, such as self-injury, are reviewed in detail. Other sections cover biochemistry, endocrinology, immunology, brain imaging and neuropathology.

Format : 17,5cm x 25,3cm x 2,8cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84310-495-7 Note générale : Bibliogr., Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : ASP-A ASP-A - Asperger - Généralités Résumé : 'Ten years ago, I picked up a copy of Tony Attwood's Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals. Little did I know it would change me, my family and our lives together. This straightforward, no nonsense book did for me what nothing and no one else in my entire life had ever been able to do. Simply put, it explained the whys behind who I was, and in so doing, it gave me the building blocks that would enable me to become who I am today - a happy and confident, gainfully employed, married mother of three. Now I realize that might not sound like much of a resume, but for someone like me - someone who was not identified as having Asperger syndrome until they were in their thirties - well, it's stupendous. Until I read Dr. Attwood's book, everything about me was in jeopardy of evaporating into the thin air I had spent my life stumbling through. My marriage, my self-esteem, my identity, my ability to form relationships and keep a job - all those things did I barely have a grasp of, even if all the while others thought I had it made in the shade. Dr. Attwood, or Saint Tony as I call him, gave me the strength to come out to the world and admit I was only pretending to be normal. That strength saved my life, of that I am certain. And now Saint Tony has penned a new book and it is extraordinary. The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is a comprehensive manual filled with useful information, updated research and most importantly, helpful advice and encouragement for those of us who have AS and those who strive to support us.'
- Liane Holliday Willey, EdD
author of Pretending to be Normal: Living With Asperger's Syndrome
'An encyclopedia on Asperger's syndrome written in easy-to-read non-technical language. It will be especially useful for helping individuals with Asperger's, parents and professionals understand the social difficulties. There is a good mix of research information, first person reports and clinical information. The section on sensory over-sensitivity is excellent. Sensory issues prevent many people on the autism/Asperger's spectrum from participating in many social activities because stimuli that do not bother most people are intolerable.'
- Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and Animals in Translation
'Tony Attwood explores in depth the complexity of the mysterious group of clinical pictures known collectively as Asperger's syndrome, part of the wider autistic spectrum. He describes all the puzzling and fascinating aspects of these conditions and brings them vividly to life with illustrations from personal histories. He emphasises the fact that the individuals concerned have special skills as well as disabilities. Most important of all, he makes imaginative but always practical suggestions for helping people with the syndrome, their families and others who are involved. The author has achieved real empathic understanding of children and adults whose basic problem is a biologically based lack of empathy with others. The book is to be highly recommended for those with Asperger's syndrome as well as for families, other carers and professionals in the field.'
- Lorna Wing
'Tony Attwood's Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is a boon for all those who are confronted by this intriguing condition in their daily lives. It is full of good sense and the wisdom that comes from years of clinical experience, and full of compassionate advice for a host of problems, vividly illustrated by case material. This is a comprehensively researched and beautifully written state of the art review of what is currently known about Asperger's syndrome. I would recommend this volume as essential reading not only to those who want to learn about Asperger's syndrome, or expand their knowledge, but also to professionals who would like to gain a fuller, wiser and richer picture than can currently be gained from any other source.'
- Uta Frith
'I usually say to the child, “Congratulations, you have Asperger's syndrome”, and explain that this means he or she is not mad, bad or defective, but has a different way of thinking.'
–from The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is the definitive handbook for anyone affected by Asperger's syndrome (AS). It brings together a wealth of information on all aspects of the syndrome for children through to adults.
Drawing on case studies and personal accounts from Attwood's extensive clinical experience, and from his correspondence with individuals with AS, this book is both authoritative and axtremely accessible. Chapters examine:
causes and indications of the syndrome
the diagnosis and its effect on the individual
theory of mind
the perception of emotions in self and others
social interaction, including friendships
long-term relationships
teasing, bullying and mental health issues
the effect of AS on language and cognitive abilities, sensory sensitivity, movement and co-ordination skills
career development.
There is also an invaluable frequently asked questions chapter and a section listing useful resources for anyone wishing to find further information on a particular aspect of AS, as well as literature and educational tools.
Essential reading for families and individuals affected by AS as well as teachers, professionals and employers coming in contact with people with AS, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone who needs to know or is interested in this complex condition.
Tony Attwood is well known for sharing his knowledge of Aspergers Syndrome. He has an Honours degree in Psychology from the University of Hull, Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Surrey and a PhD from the University of London.
