Loving Mr Spock Zusammenfassung

Loving Mr Spock: Understanding an Aloof Lovercould it be Asperger's Syndrome? Barbara Jacobs

Unnervingly clever, obsessively logical and infuriating to live with, but also disarmingly childlike and able to make you laugh - sound familiar?

As many as 1 in 100 people are affected by Asperger's Syndrome (AS), the high-functioning end of the autistic spectrum. With humour, optimism and compelling honesty throughout, this insightful handbook provides invaluable practical advice, including:

* AS facts and figures

* Asperger's questionnaires

* advice and guidelines on diagnosis

* Asperger's and employment

* how to handle the difficult times

* personal accounts from people with AS and their partners.

By researching expert opinion and telling her own gripping story, Barbara Jacobs reveals the truth about people with AS and those who love them.

Loving Mr Spock Bewertungen

A searingly honest account of the difficulties faced when people who are differently wired come together. -- National Autistic Society

In this book Barbara Jacobs has written a unique and very personal account of her life and her love for Danny. She has given the reader a hugely entertaining, witty and deeply emotional insight into the ups and downs of life with a partner who has Asperger's syndrome. Anyone who is in this position will be able to instantly identify and totally sympathise with, the day to day experiences she details.

Barbara takes us on a roller coaster ride of emotion, bravely exposing her hurt, confusion, and times her loneliness, alongside the joys, achievements, and good days. Her underpinning hopes and aspirations for her relationship and her struggle to comprehend the meaning and the reasons behind all that frustrates her efforts to have a meaningful and reciprocal adult relationship with the man she loves, runs throughout the book. Her joy in finding the reason for his behaviour and `odd' ways are soon replaced with the frustrations of his condition and his inability to see how his behaviour affects her.

-- GAP Good Autism Practice
It is a must for all those with an autism spectrum disorder in their midst. -- Christopher Gillberg, Adviser to the World Health Organization
With humour, optimism and honesty, this insightful handbook provides practical help, including expert opinion, AS facts and figures, guidelines on diagnosis, 'diagnostic' questionnaires and advice on relationships, employment and handling difficult times. -- Human Givens Magazine
