I am an Aspie Girl: A book for young girls with autism spectrum conditions

Product Information

It's hard having aspergers specially when you have a parent is constantly pointing out how self obsessed you are, I don't go out much, I find it difficult to socialise, I have a boyfriend but I still struggle sometimes there's nothing more I'd like to do than runaway. D. in Psychology, completed the pre-reqs for an LVN and RN program and started an LVN program only to have gotten on my clinical rotation instructor’s bad side. I've been looking for a book to help explain my 6yo daughter's diagnosis to her that would give her a positive view of herself. Socially Awkward— Inability to communicate and physical clumsiness will put young Aspies at a disadvantage from the very beginning. As Asperger kids grow into teens, many find ways to adapt, and their differences may not seem as pronounced.

Many of those with this almost version of being on the spectrum are more comfortable and feel more accepted by others on the spectrum. The humor and light touch is disarming, because underneath light observations and quirky moments are buried deep truths about the human experience and about her own work as an autistic woman discerning how to live her best life. I'm still figuring out how just how I was affected by my CP, I feel if I could even get a diagnosis it wouldn't be accurate. However at home she shows no empathy for her younger siblings at all and has fostered a real lack of love between all three of them, even though each of the children has a loving relationship with me.

My general opinion is that her maturity level is very juvenile and at least 3 years behind her peers. and letting anger or agitation out safely in safe ways at home so SOME SEMBLANCE OF HEALTHY ADAPTATING can happen not weird attatchments but it is okay to be creative and WE ARE ALL human and unique. My brother was recently diagnosed with Aspergers and I have a lot of the same symptoms so I am getting checked soon.

I can tell you with great certainty that we both feel a great deal of empathy towards others, but we don't always express it. I had always felt "alone in a crowd of people" and had definite trust issues that I now feel are a product of my parents inability to understand me. But has paid off exponentially :-) You would have to spend more than a minute with me to "see" the autism. Young females with Aspergers are often protected and nurtured by their “non-Aspergers” friends, who help them cope with difficult social situations. Sorry that this is off the topic, but I work in the fire service and a part of our job is to respond to medical emergencies and out 25 years of doing this I heard something on our fire radio that I’ve never heard before and thought what excellent information that is for the first responders.

Lizzie is an Aspie Girl - she has Asperger's Syndrome, which means that her brain works differently to her friends, and even to boys with Asperger Syndrome.

I now think that it was my own ability to compensate and her ability to adapt that led up to last summer, but I can say that I am grateful to find out. The diagnostic prototype is the male model: the nerdy guy whos totally unaware of social norms interested in some strange topic who might show some kind of obvious unusual behavior.Unusual gestures whilst conversing, and seemingly never fully engaged in the speaker, unless strongly intrigued; and even then the imagination takes over and causes a drifting appearance. I can also vouch for being awkward in knowing where to look and how long at awkward moments, like looking at someone to see if they’re trying to make eye contact, then later avoiding someone else’s eye contact because you’re not sure if their face is friendly or curious or critical. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Like a reassuring friend, she guides readers through a carefully structured series of 'rules' about social support, intimate relationships and safety. Some people whether autistic or allistic will be limited in this regard and some may only be limited because of beliefs they hold onto.
