Product Information
Autism is a condition which renders the sufferer incapable of understanding meaning beyond the information given . The author of this book regards autistic people as hyperrealist in a world of surrealism we call normal. Having a literal mind has profound consequences for the development of communication, social behaviour and emotional maturity, and for the ability to enjoy leisure time. This study provides a theoretical understanding of autism, to help carers adapt to the autistic person's thought processes. It also offers practical intervention strategies for education and treatment. It is illustrated with numerous quotes from parents and autistic people, providing insights into the condition.Product Identifiers
