<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Focusing on teens and adolescents, this guide helps families deal with the unique set of problems that comes with Asperger Syndrome.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sex. Slang. Slumber parties. The preoccupations of adolescents with Asperger Syndrome are no different than those of other teens, but they can be much more confusing. The lack of social skills and ability to grasp conversational nuances that characterize AS make adolescence the most difficult life stage.<p>æWhy can I swear in front of my friends, but not in front of the teacher?Æ<br>æWhy do I have to pay attention when IÆm not interested in what my friend is saying?Æ <br>æWhat does it mean to ægo outÆ with somebody?Æ <p>Asperger Syndrome is characterized by a reliance on clear guidelines, and in adolescence the social guidelines become murky and confusing. In <b><i>Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence</b></i>, child psychologist Teresa Bolick presents strategies for helping the ten to eighteen-year-old achieve happiness and success by maximizing the benefits of AS and minimizing the drawbacks.<p>YouÆll Learn: <br> -How to work with the school to help the AS child learn and succeed.<br> -Strategies for turning common AS traits like preoccupations and routines into positive strengths.<br> -How to help the AS teen learn to manage unforeseen glitches with grace.<br> -The best ways to talk to your teen about friendship, love, romance, and sex.<p>Along the way, youÆll be inspired by success stories of dozens of AS teens. With the help of this book, youÆll learn that it is possible for an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome to achieve unimaginable success.</p></p></p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Finally! Information for parents of teens! Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence: Helping Preteens and Teens Get Ready for the Real World is a wonderful resource. I highly recommend that it be read not only by parents and professionals who work with teens with AS but also by parents of younger children who wish a glimpse into the future."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Teresa Bolick, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who specializes in autism spectrum disorders.
