Brenda Boyd shows that for every characteristic of AS that can be looked at negatively, there are several positive aspects that can be drawn on and developed. Discussing AS in general terms, she talks through the reasons why people with AS approach life in the way they do, and what an enormous contribution they make to the world. She then explores different characteristics of AS; while she acknowledges the negative perception so many people have of these characteristics, she points out the large number of advantages to the Aspergers way of thinking for individuals with AS, those around them and society as a whole. For every negative, Boyd proves there are many more positives. From their refreshing honesty to their originality and potential to become leaders rather than followers, people with AS have many admirable personality traits that should be nurtured. This book shows that by adjusting our perceptions of what is 'normal' and embracing diversity, AS can not only be understood and accepted, but appreciated. Appreciating Asperger Syndrome is a celebration of AS which should be read by individuals with AS, family members, and anyone who knows or works professionally with individuals with AS.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 228mmItem Length: 157mmItem Width: 12mmItem Weight: 336gAuthor: Brenda BoydContributor: Kenneth Hall (Foreword by)Genre: Society & CultureTopic: Personal Development, MedicineRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
