OASIS GUIDE TO ASPERGER (REV)(ISBN=9781400081523) 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

Asperger Syndrome has become an increasingly common disorder.

One in 300 individuals may have AS—exhibiting characteristics such

as average to high intelligence, obsessive behavior, intense

special interests, and difficulty dealing with everyday social

situations—and it is now more prevalent than childhood cancer and

Down’s syndrome.

As the mother of a boy diagnosed with AS in 1994, Barbara Kirby

found scant resources and support. She developed the

internationally renowned OASIS (Online Asperger Syndrome

Information and Support) Web site in 1995 to help other parents

find the information they need. She teamed up with Patricia

Romanowski Bashe, now co-owner of OASIS and herself the mother of a

son with AS, to write The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome,

which has become the standout authority in the field and a

must-have for this growing audience.

Now Bashe and Kirby have crafted a fully revised edition of this

comprehensive resource for parents, teachers, therapists, and

anyone who knows or works with someone with AS. In addition to

discussing what AS looks like and how parents can guide their

unique child through the social, emotional, and intellectual

challenges of growing up, this edition includes new developments

made in AS research over the past four years, new thinking on

diagnosis and evaluation, the latest approaches to medication and

social skills development, and tips on navigating the maze of

interventions, therapies, and special education. The authors know

firsthand the joys and frustrations of raising children with AS,

and they share their own experiences as well as those of dozens of

parents facing the same issues.

Filled with practical information and emotional support, this is

the most complete and authoritative guide available. Whether your

child has been diagnosed or troubling symptoms are just becoming

apparent, this book will point you in the right direction as you

face the particular challenges of loving and raising a child with

Asperger Syndrome.

“A godsend to the increasing number of families who have a child

recently diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (AS). They will get

sympathetic and sound practical advice for the difficulties they

are facing, whether it is in coming to terms with the diagnosis or

in choosing the right kind of education and therapy. Two heroic

mothers, Kirby and Bashe, have made it their business to find out

what AS is really like and what it entails in practice. They show

by example that it is possible to meet the challenges of a child

with unusual skills as well as problems. Above all, they show the

way in which AS can enrich our lives.” —Uta Frith, professor of

cognitive development, University of London, and deputy director of

the UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, and author of

Autism and Asperger Syndrome

“Well beyond merely identifying and defining AS, the authors

provide dozens of field-tested strategies that can be used at home,

in the classroom, and in the community. . . . Bashe and Kirby offer

reliable counsel on topics related to diagnosis, treatment,

assessment, and placement. If you share your home or classroom with

a child with Asperger Syndrome, buy this book.” —Richard D. Lavoie,

visiting professor, Simmons College, and executive producer of

“The OASIS Web site has been a light of hope for individuals with

Asperger Syndrome, their families, and advocates. Kirby pioneered

ways of transforming the Internet into an accessible tool to help

those who needed reputable information and practical guidelines on

social disabilities. Her groundbreaking ways continue in this

collaboration with Bashe, now in its second edition. . . . Inspired

and informed by their professional background and by their uniquely

intimate perspective on parenting children with AS, the two

compiled a treasure of essential solutions to anyone who, like

them, experiences the joys and challenges of nurturing the talents

and addressing the needs of these very special individuals.” —Ami

“The complexities and treatment needs of the person with Asperger

while also gaining insight into specific treatment strategies that

can be used both by professionals and parents. This is an excellent

and uplifting must-read for all parents and professionals trying to

come to terms with their child or student who is ‘bright but

clueless.’” —Michelle Garcia Winner, M.A., S.L.P.-C.C.C., director,

the Center for Social Thinking

“Just when I decided that The OASIS Guide was the ultimate

‘go to’ book for AS, the authors made it even better! The

completely revised and updated OASIS Guide yields another

nugget of wisdom every time I pick it up. Whether the reader is new

to AS, needing ideas about an emerging problem, or facing the next

developmental stage, The OASIS Guide offers readable,

practical advice. I’ll recommend it enthusiastically and often.”
