The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome / Tony ATTWOOD
Titre : The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Tony ATTWOOD, Auteur Editeur : Londres [Angleterre] : Jessica Kingsley Publishers Année de publication : 2006 Importance : 400 p. 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.

This manual provides everything educators need to support these students with their social skills in everyday situations, throughout their school years.
This program is designed to help any student with social challenges, no matter how subtle. For students without social challenges, it teaches tolerance, acceptance and understanding. The characteristics of successful social skills programs are described, with an emphasis on how FRIEND implements them through three key components: the Peer Sensitivity Curriculum, the FRIEND Lunch Program and the FRIEND Playground Program. These can be implemented individually or in any combination as a comprehensive program. Parents and family are offered information on working together with schools and implementing FRIEND strategies at home and in the community.
Emphasizing peer sensitivity, education and a supportive environment, FRIEND is for any educator wanting to create an inclusive and safe atmosphere for students to learn social skill-building strategies.

Through short, real-life stories, Dr. Ortiz shows people with the neurodiversity of AS making important contributions to their communities. He does a great job of focusing on the positive aspects of what can be a very debilitating condition."
- Yvona Fast, author of Employment for Individuals with Asperger Syndrome or Non-Verbal Learning Disability: Stories and Strategies
"The Myriad Gifts of Asperger's Syndrome is a fabulous read. John Ortiz is a wonderful storyteller and this reads like a series of captivating and unique short stories of remarkable everyday individuals with the most unusual of gifts. Read it and be intrigued, inspired, uplifted and awestruck. This book is to Asperger's what Sacks' The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is to neurology. Its relevance extends well beyond the ASD world as it addresses 'outside the box' individuals everywhere and those who wish they were."
- Donna Williams, Dip. Ed., B.A. Hons.,
author of 9 books, including the international bestsellers Nobody Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere.
'John Ortiz has compiled a book that celebrates Asperger Syndrome. It highlights the fact that this medical condition entails not just deficits in socializing but also areas of strength, especially in attention to detail, in the detection of patterns, and in the pursuit of logic and truth, so essential to certain crafts and intellectual pursuits. This book reminds us that while people with Asperger Syndrome may need support in some areas, in other ways they make a special contribution to humanity.'
- Professor Simon Baron-Cohen, Professor of Developmental Psychopathology, Director, Autism Research Centre, Cambridge University
A fascinating collection of real-life personal profiles, The Myriad Gifts of Asperger's Syndrome focuses on the talents, abilities and achievements of individuals with Asperger's Syndrome (AS).
Vaschel has a remarkable connection with animals; Richard can tell the weight of any item he lifts to the nearest tenth of a pound; two-year-old Hannah detected a dangerously faulty electrical circuit in her family home; and eight-year-old Clark became conversant in French after only an evening's study. What connects these individuals? They all have AS. John M. Ortiz celebrates the qualities of individuals with AS he has met through his clinical experience, including their characteristic tenacity, honesty, and attention to detail, and looks also at the wide range of careers they have chosen and in which they flourish.
This uplifting book should be read and enjoyed by anyone who knows or works professionally with individuals with AS, and anyone with an interest in the subject.Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=490 The Myriad Gifts of Asperger's Syndrome [Texte imprimé et/ou numérique] / John M.
