| 6. The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome | 
|
By: Tony Attwood
Publisher: Jessica Kingsley Publishers
November 01, 2006
I purchased this book after it was recommended to me as the best book about Asperger's Syndrome. Imagine my dismay when I found it riddled with generalizations and stereotypes of 'normal' children, and many incorrect assumptions about all 'normal' children's reasoning abilities. That sets the tone for the entire book, how 'normal' children can do just about everything correctly all the time, and... more

You know an author is out to prove something when she states that she attended Harvard, Yale, and Berkeley within the first page of her book.

What you don't know, however, is why someone who claims... more

You are basically told to view your allotted 24 hours a day as the number of hours that exist outside of your job, and to spend them doing something that will engage you. Many references to literature. And the author is English, so be prepared to read words like "programme" versus "job". Following his use of words and trying to determine the American equivalent was interesting...especially if you've... more

Publisher: Playaway

Buy this book and read it. It =will= help. But insight is not the complete solution, and half-measures should never be expected to do a complete job. =The New Codependency= is just that: insight and half-measures.
In the cognitivist view (see Beck, Chomsky, Ellis, Lazarus, Seligman, Wessler, and Young), the ego is the collection of core beliefs, values, idea(l)s, assumptions, convictions... more
