Description
3-book boxed set helping the reader understand autism spectrum disorder. This is the essential guide for parents, partners, friends and professionals in understanding those with Asperger's Syndrome (autism spectrum disorder) and knowing how you can help them thrive. This boxed set consists of three books by autistic YouTuber, hypnotherapy and family therapy trainer Dan Jones: 'Look Into My Eyes: Asperger's, Hypnosis and Me', 'Asperger's Syndrome: Tips & Strategies' and 'An Autistic Perspective: Death, Dying and Loss'
Look Into My Eyes: Asperger's, Hypnosis and Me is an autobiography of Dan Jones experiences growing up and living with autism spectrum disorder, giving open and honest insight into what it is like to live with autism. This book includes a chapter written by Dan's wife Abbie Jones, about what it is like to be in a relationship with someone with autism spectrum disorder. Look Into My Eyes is more than just an autobiography because Dan has over 20 years experience working with those on the autistic spectrum and their families, teachers and employers so he shares his professional knowledge throughout the book as well as his personal experiences. Look Into My Eyes is laid out chronologically so that the reader can see what life is like at different ages as someone with autism spectrum disorder, what challenges are faced and what can help the autistic person cope and navigate life as well as exploring strengths those on the autistic spectrum have and how these can be developed.
Asperger's Syndrome: Tips & Strategies is a collection of tips and strategies based on Dan Jones experiences as someone who has high functioning autism spectrum disorder and over 20+ years of experience working with those on the autistic spectrum, their families, teachers and employers. This book is for parents/carers, teachers, employers, friends and work colleagues and for those on the autistic spectrum of all ages. Most books of tips and strategies for parents of autistic children, or for those with autism, or their friends, work colleagues and employers are written by professionals who work with people on the autistic spectrum but those professionals don't usually have autism spectrum disorder themselves. This book is unique because Dan not only has over 20 years of experience working with those on the autistic spectrum, their families, employers, teachers and others involved in their lives, but he also has high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (what used to be diagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome) so he has personal knowledge and experience of what works and what doesn't.
An Autistic Perspective: Death, Dying and Loss Growing up Dan noticed that he thought and responded to death, dying and loss differently to others. Following the recent death of his father and granddad he decided he wanted to share how having autism spectrum disorder impacts on the experience of death, dying and loss. There are positives and negatives and many people make incorrect judgements about what they think is going on in the mind of someone with autism about whether they care or not, so he wanted to share what is really going on (and that those with autism do care and have emotions like everyone else - often very intensely) and share some tips based on an autistic way of thinking that can be of benefit to 'neuro-typical' people. This book covers more than just death and dying, it covers a broad range of losses that occur like transitioning from primary school to secondary school, or from school to work, from home-life to independent living, all of which involve loss of one way of life and the associated routines and familiarity. It covers areas like relationship breakups and shares about the triad of impairments and different ways those with autism spectrum disorder respond to things and what can be done to help the autistic person and what the autistic person can do to help themselves.
