by Samantha Todd

Peering through the "Autism lens" allows us to change in terms of the way we deal with autism as a society and in education. Evidence-based support and strategies enable us to develop young people's ability to interact with the social world, dispensing of the anxiety that often accompanies it.The Little Book of the Autism Spectrum allows anyone who lives or works with children with autism to understand their world through an ‘autism lens’. The most positive step we can take with a child with autism is to understand the condition, and the world in general, from his or her point of view. This book develops the knowledge and delivers evidence-based strategies for communication, social interaction and the emotional, behavioral and sensory challenges faced by young people with autism.“A concisely written work that will be especially helpful for parents trying to get ‘up to speed’ when their children are newly diagnosed, it covers a wealth of material quickly without over simplifying.”—Lars Perner, PhD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Marketing, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California“This book is a must-read for parents, professionals and young people with an interest in autism. It is a welcome addition to the existing literature, providing a clear, concise and very readable overview.”—Dr Paul Wallis, Director of Psychological Services, CAMHS Directorate, Central Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust“A great book, packed full of facts and information.”—Pam Smith MBPsS, BMus(Hons), BSc(Hons), PGCE, Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Studies in Education (Autism).

Das perfekte kleine Buch um einen Einblick in die Autismus-Spektrum-Störung zu bekommen. Es nimmt einen an die Hand und zeigt einem den Weg durch die schwierige Materie.
Dem Leser wird erklärt, was diese Störung mit sich bringt und was man konkret tun kann, um Betroffene zu unterstützen. Anhand vieler Beispiele wird die Perspektive von Kindern mit Autismus deutlich gemacht. Die Kapitel sind übersichtlich aufgeteilt und am Ende sind jeweils die wichtigsten Punkte zusammengefasst. Die Autorin gibt viele Hinweise und Empfehlungen, wie man sich über dieses Buch hinaus weiter mit dem Thema beschäftigen und sich ggf. Hilfe suchen kann.
Meiner Meinung nach ist dieses Buch ein Muss für alle Lehrer, Erzieher und alle anderen die mit Kindern und jungen Erwachsenen arbeiten.

I remember buying this book when I lived in Dubai back in 2015 starting to notice some autistic traits in myself besides my ADHD diagnosis.

This little lovely and well written book has helped me trough several years of personal development - helping me to understand and even better explain myself to others! I have only now in 2020 finally been able to be done with it and finally having gotten my Asperger diagnosis. Looking back on my notes throughout the book I only wish I had found it many years before!

If you have any contact with the autism spectrum - being on it yourself, your child or working with or alongside anyone with autism this is a must read! It is a handbook with keys to understanding the autistic mind and being able to see through the autism lens!

Read it!!! ;)

Otizmle ilgili ilk okuma yapacaksanız bu doğru kitap olabilir. Bunun yanında otizmle ilgili her şeyi bildiğinizi düşünüyorsanız da bu kitap sizin için yeni bir bakış getirebilir. Yani her koşulda göz ardı etmeyin. Özellikle ebeveynlere ve otizmlilerle çalışan eğitimen ve uzmanlara önermek isterim
