Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol / Matthew TINSLEY
Titre : Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol : Drinking to Cope? Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Matthew TINSLEY, Auteur ; Sarah HENDRICKX, Auteur Editeur : Londres [Angleterre] : Jessica Kingsley Publishers Année de publication : 2008 Importance : 144 p. Format : 23,4cm x 15,6cm x 1cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84310-609-8 Note générale : Bibliogr., Index Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : ASP-J ASP-J - Asperger - Vie Sociale Résumé : Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol exposes the unexplored problem of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) using alcohol as a coping mechanism to deal with everyday life. Alcohol can relieve the anxiety of social situations and make those with ASDs feel as though they can fit in. Ultimately, however, reliance on alcohol can lead the user down a path of self-destruction and exacerbate existing problems.
Utilising their professional and personal experience, the authors provide an overview of ASDs and of alcohol abuse, and explore current knowledge about where the two overlap. Tinsley explores his own personal history as someone with an ASD who has experienced and beaten alcohol addiction. He discusses how the impact of his diagnosis and his understanding of the condition played a huge part in his recovery, and how by viewing his life through the prism of autism, his confusion has been replaced by a greater understanding of himself and the world around him.
This inspiring book on an under-researched area will be of interest to professionals working with people with ASDs, as well as individuals with ASDs who may be dealing with alcohol or substance misuse, and their families.Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=721 Asperger Syndrome and Alcohol : Drinking to Cope?
