Présentation de l'éditeur
People with Asperger Syndrome have many characteristics that are frequently seen in a negative light. 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
Revue de presse
'This is an absolutely fascinating and insightful book - a real celebration of Asperger Syndrome. I have read many books about Asperger Syndrome (AS) but this one, more than any other, has helped me understand AS and think about it in a new and more positive light...and to realise that the world really does need Asperger Syndrome!' --- Julie Connell, Educational Psychologist
'How refreshing to find a book that challenges the stereotypical and often negative view of AS, encouraging the reader instead to look at the many positive attributes of this complex condition...this book reinforces the view that "the more deeply we understand AS, the more positive we can be".' --- Jo Douglas, Consultant Psychologist
