Parenting ASD Teens: A Guide to Making it Up As You Go

Autor Andrew Schlegelmilch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 apr 2014

Observăm în Parenting ASD Teens o abordare riguros interdisciplinară, situată la intersecția dintre psihologia clinică, pedagogia specială și asistența socială. Autorul Andrew Schlegelmilch, valorificând experiența sa de psiholog șef într-o instituție de învățământ pregătitor, propune un instrument de lucru care depășește simpla teorie, ancorându-se în realitățile curriculare și comportamentale ale adolescenței sub spectrul autist.

Notăm structura logică a volumului, organizată în patru secțiuni esențiale care ghidează cititorul de la evaluarea punctelor forte și a deficitelor (Secțiunea A), la mecanismele de dezvoltare și moralitate (Secțiunea B), până la managementul complex al relațiilor verticale și orizontale (Secțiunea C). Remarcăm pragmatismul cu care sunt abordate subiecte adesea evitate, precum sexualitatea, utilizarea rețelelor sociale și răspunsul de tip „îngheț” (freeze response) în fața stresului academic. Cartea oferă o perspectivă valoroasă asupra motivelor pentru care elevi altfel străluciți întâmpină dificultăți majore în mediul liceal, oferind soluții pentru recalibrarea așteptărilor familiale.

Ca alternativă la If Your Adolescent Has Autism pentru cursurile de educație specială sau suport parental, Parenting ASD Teens vine cu avantajul unei experiențe clinice directe în mediul școlar, punând un accent mai mare pe tranziția către independență și colaborarea cu profesioniștii din sănătatea mintală. În timp ce Adolescents on the Autism Spectrum oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra spectrului, lucrarea lui Schlegelmilch se concentrează pe mecanisme de coping specifice mediului domestic și academic, fiind un ghid de implementare imediată a strategiilor de suport.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte părinților și educatorilor care caută soluții concrete pentru provocările specifice vârstei de 13-19 ani în contextul ASD. Cititorul câștigă acces la expertiza unui psiholog clinician specializat în tranziția spre liceu, învățând cum să gestioneze crizele de furie, siguranța digitală și relațiile colegiale. Este o resursă esențială pentru a înțelege discrepanța dintre potențialul intelectual și dificultățile executive ale adolescentului.


Descriere

This straight-talking and accessible guide for parents of teenagers on the autism spectrum provides down-to-earth advice on coping with the more difficult issues that can arise at home and school during the adolescent years.
Andrew Schlegelmilch discusses common parenting challenges and offers advice drawn from his extensive experience working with teenagers with autism and their families as Head Psychologist at a college preparatory school. He offers parents professional guidance on what to do about falling grades, how to handle adolescent tantrums, how to talk about sex and sexuality with your child, how to help your child with peer relationships, how to keep your child safe online, and what to do if you suspect your child has mental health problems. Integral to the discussion is how to set realistic expectations and encourage independence in ways that work for both your child with autism and the rest of the family, as well as how to make the best use of the help professionals can offer.

Recenzii

The strength of Schlegelmilch's writing is in his not-the-typical-autism-professional voice-one that is no-nonsense, down-to-earth, and clear as a bell. Mix that in with his deep understanding of ASD and the whole teenage "thing", seasoned with wry asides and warmed with compassion, and you have a highly useful, compelling and unusual book.
Andrew Schlegelmilch's new book, Parenting ASD Teens is a clear, detailed, and a much-needed look at parenting of teens on the spectrum. His years of experience with ASD teens and their parents at Orion Academy come through in the realistic information and the thoughtful, professional discussion. This is a must-read book for both parents and clinicians living and working with this population.
While the title of Dr Schlegelmilch's book is Parenting ASD Teens, this volume is a wealth of information and advice useful to any parent or professional who works with teens or adults. He is extremely knowledgeable and obviously cares for these kids. I would recommend the book as a preparation for parents for the many challenges and changes that life will bring. It covers a breadth of topics, both outside and inside of the classroom. This is stuff we as parents and professionals need to know. He has a subtle sense of humor that will hit home with any parent or teacher.
Educational, insightful, and encouraging. In Parenting ASD Teens, Dr Schlegelmilch gives valuable information regarding the challenges facing adolescent ASD teens and young adults. Dr. Schlegelmilch offers practical advice about how ASD teens learn and grow towards independence. I would strongly recommend this book to parents.
...for any parent of a teen on the Autism Spectrum and comes from a psychologist who offers guidance on difficult issues that go beyond adolescent rebellion and include ASD special concerns. From behavior problems and school struggles to helping a child develop social consideration, this is a 'must' for any who have an ASD child and are looking ahead to the turbulent teen years and how to cope with an Autism child entering these years.
This book is full of advice on raising a teen with autism. The author acknowledges how difficult it can be for a parent to get it right...This can be very helpful for a parent who wants to understand what is being said about their son or daughter...Different terms for Autism are explained... This book is full of practical advise for parents and carers of autistic teens.
With Andrew Schlegelmilch's book I found he gave a brilliant insight into the whys and wherefores of children's behaviours who were both ASD and Neurotypical... It clarified many things for me... This book is relevant to anybody who would like a better understanding of teenagers with ASD.
