Social Skills and Autistic Spectrum Disorders Résumé

Social Skills and Autistic Spectrum Disorders Lynn Plimley

`I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It will be a welcome resource and the generator of much fruitful discussion' - Good Autism Practice

`The highly readable, accessible writing style and visually clear presentation allow the reader to dip in frequently to build up knowledge by accretion...This is an excellent book, ideal for those both new to working with people with ASD and also more experienced practitioners' - Special magazine

Individuals with autistic spectrum disorders (ASDs) have difficulty in communicating and socializing. They perceive the world in a very different way to most people, and often find the behaviour of those around them confusing and unfair.

This book examines the concerns around inappropriate social behaviour that those living and working with children and adults face on a day-to-day basis. It discusses preventative measures and intervention strategies, and uses real-life case studies to illustrate these.

Issues covered include:

an overview of what difficulties might be encountered at different stages in life

strategies that can be used to alleviate the problems

how to recognize triggers and create stress-free environments

hints and tips for those living and working with individuals with ASDs.
