Enhance your practice and improve outcomes for autistic clients with this indispensable guide by world-leading autism experts Tony Attwood and Maxine Aston. When working with couples where one or both partners are autistic, traditional therapeutic approaches can fall short. Differences in communication styles, expectations, and emotional processing can lead to misunderstandings-not only between partners but also between clients and their counsellor. Without a deep understanding of autism, therapists may unintentionally provide advice that is ineffective or even harmful. This book bridges the gap between conventional relationship counselling and the specific needs of neurodiverse couples. Drawing on research and firsthand accounts from autistic individuals and their partners, it equips therapists with the essential knowledge and practical strategies needed to provide affirming, effective support. From identifying autism in the counselling room to making meaningful adaptations in sessions, this resource will expand your therapeutic toolkit and empower you to foster healthier, more fulfilling relationships for neurodiverse couples.

La sexualité des personnes autistes est un sujet très peu abordé dans la littérature scientifique actuelle. Le présent ouvrage traite de cet aspect méconnu du syndrome d''Asperger. L''auteur montre que si les personnes autistes manifestent sensiblement le même intérêt et les mêmes besoins sexuels que les individus de la population générale, leurs comportements diffèrent. Leur manque d''habiletés sociales et les difficultés de communication qu''ils éprouvent s''ajoutent aux obstacles rencontrés dans l''établissement des relations interpersonnelles et sexuelles. L''auteur cerne également les enjeux liés aux besoins et identifie ainsi le type d''interventions nécessaires à l''éducation sexuelle. Comportant de nombreux témoignages et exemples cliniques, cet ouvrage présente également un programme d''éducation socio-sexuelle et des activités d''intervention adaptées aux individus et aux couples de tous âges. Cet ouvrage est destiné aux psychologues, sexologues et thérapeutes, de même qu''à toute personne directement ou indirectement concernée par cet aspect du syndrome d''Asperger.

Winner of a 2008 Teachers’ Choice Award! Many children, especially those with developmental delays, have trouble understanding or expressing their feelings.

Dit boek dat zich goed leent voor psycho-educatie over stoornissen uit het autistisch spectrum, heeft een belangrijke voorlichtende waarde. Het is geschreven vanuit een diepe empathie voor mensen die lijden aan het syndroom. De auteur kruipt als het ware in hun huid en verwoordt wat in deze autisten omgaat. Ze zijn vaak specifiek begaafd, maar zoeken vanuit hun behoefte om bij zichzelf te zijn ook een isolementspositie.

Working towards greater access and inclusion in education and employment for young people with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) continues to be a challenge with varying degrees of success. Matthew Hesmondhalgh outlines the inherent problems with improving services for people on the autism spectrum, from specialised schooling to supported living schemes and examines the social issues and attitudes that people with ASDs confront in so many aspects of life. The author draws on his own experience of working at The Integrated Resource, which offers educational opportunities for secondary school aged pupils with ASDs and provides a charity funded supported employment programme for young adults with ASDs. He includes a host of case examples of young people and their parents who have fought battles for inclusion, explaining the obstacles they faced, their failures and their inspiring successes. Autism, Access and Inclusion on the Front Line is a frank and honest appraisal of service provision for young people with ASDs that will both inform and encourage parents and professionals.
