Experiences of Adults Following an Autism Diagnosis
Autor Kristien Hens, Raymond Langenbergen Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 ian 2019
This
book
explores
adult
experiences
of
autism
diagnosis.
Focusing
on
the
experiences
of
21
interviewees,
the
structure
of
the
book
mirrors
the
seven
stages
undergone
upon
diagnosis,
and
raises
important
questions
about
modern
society
and
the
self,
amidst
this
life-changing
news.
Analysing
a
broad
range
of
empirical
interview
data
including
adults
who
had
experiences
of
other
diagnoses,
and
adults
who
seemed
to
function
normally
before
their
autism
diagnosis,
the
authors
use
these
stories
to
examine
how
autism
diagnosis
can
be
extremely
important
and
helpful,
but
also
generate
a
great
deal
of
negativity.
Illuminating
a
range
of
testimonies
that
have
previously
been
kept
in
the
shadows,
this
book
will
not
only
appeal
to
students
and
scholars
of
autism
in
adults,
but
also
to
practitioners
as
well
as
adults
who
have
been
diagnosed
with
autism.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
‘This
is
possibly
the
best
book
on
autism
research
this
year.
It
is
a
very
rich
book,
which
is
worthwhile
for
those
who
are
prepared
to
leave
the
path
of
the
instrumental
and
choose
deeper
reflection.
It
is
a
pioneer
in
the
field
of
free
and
equal
cooperation
between
academia
and
lived
experience.
There
are
not
many
books
where
the
authors
are
sincere
in
their
questioning
without
wanting
to
push
through
their
own
agenda.’
