2nd edition
Some reviews
About the book
How do people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) perceive the world?
And how to communicate with them effectively?
In this ground-breaking book, author and researcher Luca Dellanna explains how autism is primarily a perceptual disorder rather than a learning disorded (impaired learning comes as a result of a different perception) and how we can adjust the way we communicate to bridge such differences.
What's inside
- The Magnifying Glass
a metaphor to explain autistic perception.
- Two domains
why people with (mild) autism prefer some detailed fields such as maths and physics and are impaired at contextual fields such as sports and social interactions.
- A two-tailed spectrum
how not only there are hyper-detailed people (people labeled as autistic) but also hypo-detailed people – a currently-unlabeled part of the population suffering from a perceptual impairment opposite to the autistic one.
- A spectrum of behaviors
Prioritization by Specificity, Peripheral Functionality Blindness, and other peculiarities frequently exhibited by people with ASD
- Learning and Teaching
how to communicate effectively with people with (mild) ASD.
- And much more…
