Children, Youth And Adults With Asperger Syndrome: Integrating Multiple Perspectives

Description

Basically, a slightly updated version of Margot Prior's Learning and Behavior Problems in Asperger Syndrome, this book includes much of the same information and even some of the same authors. The only real improvement was the inclusion of three authors with diagnoses on the autism spectrum rather than one, but I found Margaret Lawson (who was in LBPAS) to be much more positive and evocative than any of these three. One of them very much wanted to be cured, apparently not understanding that would so fundamentally change who he was to the point that he would no longer be the same person (tantamount to a suicide wish, in my view).
Much of the same information debunking the idea that AS is fundamentally different from Autism is present, though not presented as well as in the previous text. Additionally, the writer they chose for the section on autism culture never even mentioned our important groups, such as Autism Network International, or important autism-culture events, such as Autreat. Considering how many of us (Aspies and HFAs) there are on the web, why didn't they get one of us with basic training in anthropology or sociology with connections to one or more of our self-advocacy organizations to write this section? It would have had much better information, more accuracy, and less outright speculation if they had. For that matter, why not use those same organizations to find one of us who feels fundamentally positive about our differences from neurotypicals? I'm VERY TIRED of books telling us how all of our differences are deficits, rather than emphasizing the strengths that also come with our differences.
If you have one of these two books, don't bother getting the other - and I'd generally say that Prior's 2003 book was better, even if the information is a couple more years "out of date". The DSM-IV-TR and ICD-10, and the various critiques thereof, have not changed substancially in two years, nor has the educational approach.
