Summary:
"Wisdom on Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) that has been acquired over the lifetimes of those who have Asperger's syndrome. They are the great Aspie mentors who know ASD from the inside; they have "Been there, done that," and from their wisdom say, "Try this!" Written by Aspies for Aspies, Aspie mentors offer their personal guidance on coping with the daily stressors that Aspies have identified as being the most significant, in order of urgency -- anxiety, self-esteem, change, meltdowns, depression, friendship, love, and much, much more. Dr. Tony Attwood rounds up each chapter with professional analysis and extensive recommendations. Essential information on destructive strategies that may look attractive, but that have counter-productive effects. Includes full color artwork from Aspie artists showing visually how they interpret each stressor. An inspirational guide to life for young adults, the newly diagnosed, and as a life-long reference for anyone on the spectrum. Tony Attwood is a clinical psychologist from Brisbane, Australia"--Provided by publisher.
