I am an Aspie Girl: A book for young girls with autism spectrum conditions

Product Information

My personal experience is that there are many times in my life I felt nothing while others had some standard deep emotional reaction to say, witnessing a death. I get upset about missing a routine. I feel compassion for others and want to help them, because that’s how I was raised. But if they die, I have no feeling at all except curiosity.

Safety Hazards! Cylinder Contamination! Ford Escape 3.0

We really felt the "Harvard Guide" had let us down here. There we were -- left not knowing what my partner's diagnosis was -- even though clearly there had to be something! Even the trades people I’ve had who have done a good job have been massively unreliable. Just not turning up for days on end, not being able to come due to a plethora of excuses. Small jobs left at the end of me to sort e.g. carpet bars so it’s an extra hassle once all done. All waste left without prior discussion so I’ve had to move while bathrooms to the tip. Dude, I’m sheltered… I dont go out that much. I’d rather type stuff about how I relate to these even if it is just a waste of time. The girl and the boy are both horrible straw-man characters who make no effort to understand each other. Being on the spectrum is no excuse to treat others badly. If people actually talked to one another like this, we’d be living in a much colder world. One final negative point: this book relies on a lot of pseudoscience, most particularly the last chapter about gastrointestinal problems. Anecdotes and studies/surveys without a control ARE NOT SCIENCE AND DO NOT PROVE ANYTHING. The author gives a list of 'gastrointestinal problems' (list includes migraines) and says that 9/10 aspergirls have these problems. HOWEVER, the list is so broad (includes very common problems such as heartburn) that I'm sure if you gave this survey to a representative sample of NTs you would get 9/10 people having at least one of these problems.In Episode II, Tania discusses 39 red flags to learn about and be observant about in people. She offers tips and advice and uses actual cases from her work to illustrate why Neurodiverse individuals are often taken advantage of. She includes those who are highly sensitive individuals, intuitive individuals, shy and passive individuals, and those that describe the traits of being an empath. I SUSPECTED Asperger’s as long ago as 2000, but it wasn’t until 2011 that I noticed a memory problem at work and t a neurologist pinned down my problem; the good news, she said, was that it wasn’t Alzheimer’s – it was High Functioning Autism. I’ve never seen a comic that represents me and resonates so deeply. It makes me feel valid, supported, and seen. Love this comic so much! <3» Another aspect of the structure of the book is that at the end of each topic (chapter), Rudy summarizes by providing direct advice to aspergirls, followed by advice to aspergirl parents. This is smart, very smart, as the two target audiences are vastly different and covers her audience well - and more importantly, sends clear messages to the two most important groups that affect aspergirls.

the disturbance causes clinically significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning So, reading over this list, I feel like I have all of the symptoms save for #4: It’s there, but not as heavy as I’d like it. Also took that online test — managed a score of 33. Where 34 is where the level is for “Autism Likely.” I really enjoyed your blog, it’s really well-informative and interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Aspergers find it difficult to interpret other people’s emotions. They find it hard to understand body language or subtle emotive cues. I recently came across an article where they shared some knowledge about Autism Spectrum. Maybe you would like to add something from here- http://blog.nationalcollege.edu.au/blog/course/life/understanding-the-autism-spectrum The stereotypes for young people may not apply so much as we get older, and I was diagnosed when I was 67. Indeed, events along life’s pathway have considerably reduced the stereotypical behavior attributed to those of us “on the spectrum”, and discovering love at age 52 opened a whole new window on life, one I had not been aware existed.upvotes Follow Unfollow 2 years ago Dots Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017 This sensitive and warm book, complete with insightful text and lovely drawings will surely encourage the peers of kids with Asperger Syndrome (AS) to better understand, empathize with, and accept their Aspie pals. The afterword by Dr Tony Attwood will additionally help the adult readers of the book come to an even deeper awareness that can then lead the way for more meaningful discussion of ASD.

you are confusing “pretending to be sad” with empathy…Its not that she wouldn’t expect an allistic person to pretend to be sad. She would expect an allistic person to show empathy. (If you think empathy is pretending to be sad you might want to get that looked at by a professional.
