Public ISBD [article]  inGood Autism Practice - GAP > 9-2 (October 2008) . - p.20-25 Titre : Promoting self-esteem in adults on the autism spectrum with learning disabilities Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Anna TICKIE, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : p.20-25 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : It is well known that a person’s self-esteem has a great impact on their general mood and performance and that low self-esteem can lead to depression and social isolation. Yet, the author argues, raising self-esteem is rarely the prime target of interventions. In this paper, Anna Tickle describes weekly group sessions to enhance the self-esteem of 11 adults on the autism spectrum. An attempt was made to measure the change in self-esteem but the measure used was not adequate and this raises an issue about how one might assess this in adults with communication and/or learning difficulties. The paper gives ideas on both the content and the process of setting up and implementing an intervention to raise self-esteem.
