Psychology & Psychiatry : Cognitive Psychology

Through her questioning of traditional approaches regarding autism, and with determination and patience, Florica Stone has been able to develop a satisfying and supportive two-way channel of communication with her autistic son. In Autism - The Eighth Colour of the Rainbow Florica shows how shared meanings can be learnt and expressed between autistic and non-autistic individuals, though they experience radically different perceptions of reality. Through interacting with and listening to her autistic friends and son, she began to understand the autistic learning style and to decipher the various behavioural needs that arise from their particular sensory processing. In this inspiring, much-needed practical guide she presents ways of creating autistic-friendly environments, modifying habitual or traditional responses to autistic behaviour, using forms of literal learning, and provides many useful examples and exercises. This book will help parents, teachers and professionals to learn how to interact positively with autistic children and bring about long-lasting changes. more...
