About this product

Product Information

Cynthia Kim explores all the quirkyness of living with Asperger Syndrome (ASD) in this accessible, witty and honest guide looking from an insider perspective at some of the most challenging and intractable aspects of being autistic. Her own life presents many rich examples. From being labelled nerdy and shy as an undiagnosed child to redefining herself when diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome as an adult, she describes how her perspective shifted to understanding a previously confusing world and combines this with the results of extensive research to explore the 'why' of ASD traits. She explains how they impact on everything from self-care to holding down a job and offers typically practical and creative strategies to help manage them, including a section on the vestibular, sensory and social benefits of martial arts for people with autism. Well known in the autism community and beyond for her popular blog, Musings of an Aspie, Cynthia Kim's book is rich with personal anecdotes and useful advice. This intelligent insider guide will help adults with ASDs and their partners, family members, friends, and colleagues, but it also provides a fresh and witty window onto a different worldview.

The Haynes Manual for an Autistic Body, at last!
When I learned about Aspergers/Autism, I was desperate for the Haynes Manual for an autistic body. This book, aptly subtitled 'A User Guide ..', has given me that manual. It is full of everyday details of how the author experiences Aspergers. These little specific details are so helpful for either self-diagnosis, or for empathy/understanding of a loved one with Aspergers. They reveal the way that the inner world of an Aspie is experienced, and the challenges of participating in a social world dominated by non-Aspies. There is also a lot of practical help, tips and suggestions of things that have worked for the author. In summary, this is a helpful manual, which describes what is happening in the autistic body, and tips to manage that body in an allistic (non autistic) world.
