Bókasafnið okkar

Þegar Luke Jackson var þrettán ára vantaði hann vegvísi fyrir snilling af því tagi sem aðrir kalla stundum frík eða nörd. Svoleiðis bók var ekki til og því gerði hann sér lítið fyrir og skrifaði hana. Í Frík, nördar og aspergersheilkenni talar Luke til annarra krakka sem greindir hafa verið á einhverfurófinu en einnig foreldra þeirra, kennara og fagfólks. 

  

Ráð handa reiðum krökkum er sögð vera áhrifarík bók gerð með því markmiði að hvetja nútímakrakka til að ná tökum á reiði sinni áður en reiðin nær tökum á þeim!

Beyond the Silence: My Life, the World and Autism 

Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay

 

 

 

 

Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay tries mightily to explain how the entirety of his world—perception, reaction, logic, emotion—diverges from the average person’s. 

 

 

 

Soma Mukhopadhyay would not accept the conventional wisdom when her son Tito was diagnosed with severe autism. Defying the prognosis that Tito was incapable of accomplishing anything, Soma devised a way to teach her son to read, write and communicate.

 

Drawing from his own experiences and gaining information from his teenage brother and sisters, Luke Jackson wrote this enlightening, honest and witty book in an attempt to address difficult topics such as bullying, friendships, when and how to tell others about AS, school problems, dating and relationships, and morality.

 

 

Playing the dating game is often tricky: all the more so for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome. How do AS adolescents and their families cope with sexual feelings and behaviour? What help can be given if a man with AS oversteps the mark in expressing his sexuality? How do people with AS deal with intimacy and communication in sexual relationships.

 

 

Choosing Autism Interventions: A Research-Based Guide provides an accessible evidence-based overview of the most commonly used interventions for children and adults on the autism spectrum.

In this book, Temple Grandin delivers a report from the country of autism. Writing from the dual perspectives of a scientist and an autistic person, she tells us how that country is experienced by its inhabitants and how she managed to breach its boundaries to function in the outside world.

 

 

This book affirms that autism imposes no inherent upper limits on achievement, that both teacher and child can do it. It’s the game plan every educator, parent, or family member needs to make the most of every teaching moment in the life of these children we love.

Ashley Stanford is married to a man with Asperger Syndrome, and her book provides the answers to many of the questions asked by the increasing number of people in that situation. She explains how behaviours that may have appeared odd - or even downright irritating - are the manifestation of AS, and shows how understanding can lead to greater tolerance, or to change.

 

 

Carol Gray developed the Social Story in 1991 to promote social understanding in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Now, nearly twenty years after their inception, Social Stories have become a standard approach for teachers and parents all over the globe, and the stories are more effective than ever.

 

 

College life is particularly stressful for students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and the resources that colleges provide for such students are often inadequate. This guide provides information to help these students prepare successfully for the rites and rituals of studying, interact with staff and fellow students, cope with expectations and pressures, and understand their academic and domestic responsibilities.
