Description

2018 IPPY Gold Medal Award Winner in the Mental/Psychology category. 2017 Best Books Award Winner in the Mental/Psychology category and 2018 Next Generation Indie Book Awards in the Parenting/Family category, "Uniquely Normal: Tapping The Reservoir of Normalcy To Treat Autism". Author Robert J. Bernstein has found a different approach based on cognition thinking in helping people of all ages with ASD. Author's goal is for people with ASD to be able to live in the world and connect with the people in it as themselves, to express their unique humanity and engage more fully in the human interactions that give life meaning and make it worth the effort of getting out of bed every day. Author believes that whatever he does therapeutically must be on the ASD individual’s terms; he or she must lead. Author's therapy examples are categorized by age groups of: 2-5 years of age, 6-10 years of age, 11-14 years of age and 19 years of age and up.

Lots of information & easy to read. I work with kids on the spectrum so I always like to read other perspectives.

Very accessible book, ideal to read cover to cover or dip in and out of. The case studies cover a variety of issues and Bernstein explains clearly what was observed and, more importantly, why he chose to intervene in the way he did for each young person.

Rather than being prescriptive, this book allows you to think and to question, bringing a far greater understanding. Too often diagnoses and treatments or interventions are presented without recognition that we are dealing with individuals, each of whom have their own "normal" and their own place "on the spectrum" - this book recognises this allowing you to draw on the experiences of others to find your own "uniquely normal" place.

Thoroughly recommended for parents and those who work with young people on and off the spectrum.

With thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher.
