Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication and intimacy can feel like a constant struggle in relationships where one partner has Asperger Syndrome (AS). For the neuro-typical partner (NT) in particular, this can be an endless source of frustration, misunderstandings, and tears. Drawing on her own experience of being married to a man with AS, Louise Weston shows that the road to intimacy begins with letting go of expectations and looking after your own physical and emotional needs. She provides tried-and-tested strategies for relating to and connecting with your AS partner, as well as useful tips for coping with hurtful words and meltdowns, helping your partner to interpret emotions, and finding further sources of help and support. Above all, she shows that although your AS/NT relationship will challenge you beyond what you ever thought possible, by letting go of expectations and respecting each others' differences, this unique partnership really can be both happy and successful. Brimming with stories and advice from other NT partners, this practical book will help NTs take positive steps towards connecting with their AS partners. It will also be a useful resource for counsellors and other professionals who wish to deepen their understanding of AS/NT relationships.

Download or read book Ending Discrimination in Special Education written by Herbert Grossman and published by Charles C. Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 1998 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The assessment, instruction, classroom management, and counseling approaches currently in practice are, for the most part, inappropriate for the numerous poor, non-European American, immigrant, refugee, migrant, rural, and limited English-proficient students in special education programs because they have been designed for European American, middle- and upper-class, English-proficient students. Prejudice toward these children, although often unconscious, is yet another form of discrimination. When teachers refer students for evaluation for possible placement in special education programs, they are more likely to refer poor and non-European American students for placement in programs for students with disabilities and less likely to refer them to programs for the gifted and talented. Doctor Grossman discusses the forces that create and perpetuate these and other discriminatory assessment, instructional, classroom management, and counseling approaches and provides readers with workable solutions for eliminating them, though the ideas, suggestions, and conclusions described are controversial.
