Product Description
by Dee Jones (Author)
My clients over the years have repeatedly asked for an easy-to-read book, saying, "We want to take home what's in your head." Neurodivergence, with a focus on Autism, is the key subject of this book in which my use of "Aspie" is a shortening of Autistic Spectrum Person. So this is an everyday-language explanation of all things Aspie, written for Aspies and non-Aspies. Aspies repeatedly ask me to explain how non-Aspies think and work, and neurotypicals are often confused by Aspies. Many interesting case studies and illustrations (it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words) are included to aid these social understandings and interactions. Each chapter is self-contained, so that a reader can quickly get answers and tools in an overall synopsis contained in one section. The last chapter is a show-case collection of individual personal stories and expressions. Neuro-WHAT? is written in non-academic language as much as possible, but also tries to demystify the academic language often used on this topic.
