Children, Youth and Adults with Asperger Syndrome: Integrating Multiple Perspectives (2005)

Children, Youth and Adults with Asperger Syndrome: Integrating Multiple Perspectives (2005)Edited by Kevin P. Stoddart, PhD and produced in cooperation with the Aspergers Society of Ontario

Jessica Kingsley Publishers (www.jkp.com)

This book offers a comprehensive overview of clinical, research and personal perspectives on Asperger Syndrome, including contributions from parents and experts in the fields of psychology, social work, psychiatry, genetics, sexology and vocational counselling. It includes first-hand accounts from adults with AS, highlighting their difficulties in areas such as social competence and education. Specialist perspectives on AS, including sexuality and relationships, finding and keeping employment and anxiety and depression are sensitively addressed. The viewpoints of parents explore experiences of parenting AS individuals. These varied approaches to living with AS complement the emerging literature on theory, research and practice in this area. The broad scope of Children, Youth and Adults with Asperger Syndrome guarantees a wide readership among practitioners, students, parents, young people and adults with AS, educates service providers how to assist people with AS and suggests a model of interdisciplinary collaboration for administrators and funders.


Available at on-line bookstores world-wide, specialist bookstores, and the Aspergers Society of Ontario.
