Synopsis

The Anger Box offers a fresh insight into autism from an expert practitioner with over 30 years' experience working with people with learning disabilities. Shifting her attention away from presentation and symptoms alone, Phoebe Caldwell explores and attempts to understand the sensory issues experienced by those on the spectrum and their neurobiological roots in an effort to find new ways of alleviating the distress that can characterise this condition. The Anger Box explores a wide range of areas including the relationship between pain and external stimuli, trigeminal neuralgia, visual distortions, sensory overload, and environmental and neurological factors implicated in the development of ASD. It is a book of ideas that, while designed for professionals, will also appeal to parents with autistic children, those with a general interest in the subject and many individuals on the autism spectrum themselves.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Phoebe Caldwell is an Intensive Interaction practitioner working mainly with children and adults on the autistic spectrum, many of whom have behavioural distress. Phoebe's methods combine using a person's body language to communicate, with paying attention to those aspects of an individual's environment that are triggering sensory distress. For four years Phoebe was a Rowntree Research Fellow looking at best practice. She teaches management, therapists, parents, teachers, advocates and carers, nationally and internationally. She is also employed by NHS, social services and community and education services to work with individuals they are finding it difficult to provide a service for. She has published seven books and four training films and a number of academic papers. In 2010, she was awarded the Times/Sternberg Active Life Award for work on autism and contribution to the community, and in July 2011 Bristol University awarded her an Honorary Doctorate of Science for communication with people with autism.
