L'ESTIME DE SOI ET L'AUTISTE
Kim Thuy Brigitte Harrisson Lise St-Charles
Autism and Self-Esteem
A guide to help those with autism build a sense of identity and self-esteem.
DESCRIPTION
With their earlier book, Explaining Autism to the Non-Autistic, the authors threw a lifeline to many parents and caregivers by helping them understand the hows and whys of certain frustrating behavioural issues. This second book explores how those with autism can create a better life in a world full of neurotypical people. Written as a series of questions and answers, this empathetic and reassuring book challenges current intervention methods and their reasoning and explains the latest thinking about quality of life and life expectancy, focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses to develop the self-esteem they may be lacking and make the best use of the baggage they carry.
