"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.
