A Self-Determined Future with Asperger Syndrome examines autism and Asperger Syndrome from the social perspective, rather than the medical perspective. It is based on a ´solution focused´ approach, which uses the skills and coping strategies people with Asperger Syndrome already employ, to help them reach their preferred future. The authors describe the origins of the solution focused approach and how it came to be used with individuals with Asperger Syndrome, as well as discussing how it can be used to support individuals on the autistic spectrum. Complemented by case study examples and practical worksheets and tools, the book treats people with Asperger Syndrome as individuals aside from the ´problem´ or ´disordered´ aspects of autism. This empowering book will be of interest to people who are affected by Asperger Syndrome and autism, as well as professionals working with people with people on the spectrum.
