The Asperger
Plus Child: How to Identify and Help Children
with Asperger Syndrome and Seven Common Co-Existing Conditions* *Bipolar Disorder, Nonverbal Learning
Disability, OCD, Oppositional By George T.
Lynn, M.A., M.P.A., L.M.H.C. Story “I
Have A Fork” by Joanne
Barrie It
is all in the detective work. Once you
know the core neurotype of a child, you can communicate with him, and
co-invent strategies that he can use to wire his personality straight to his
strengths! This book, based on
current research and the author’s clinical observations from working with
brilliant, wild, odd, and difficult kids for fifteen years, provides a map
for understanding and helping them at home and at school. The
Asperger Plus Child is written for parents, teachers, counselors, and medical
professionals. In it, George Lynn continues
the tradition of “breaking new ground” in his insights about the children he
calls “Attention Different.” Some
pearls from this work are: Ø
Why it is important to understand the real difference between autism
and Asperger’s syndrome. Ø
How you can
tell if a child is AS or ADD and why the distinction will become more
important as the child grows through his teen years. Ø
What a child
with AS who also has a non-verbal learning disability on board looks like
compared to a child with AS without an NLD! Though each child is
different as a fingerprint, neurology exercises a powerful force on character
development: there
are shared patterns, there are important differences.
The Asperger Plus Child ventures a commonsensical, interesting, and
understandable description of these essential distinctions. Order
