Beschreibung:
Carol Hagland worked as a chartered clinical psychologist in the NHS for over thirty years - the last ten being in the field of learning disabilities. During that time she developed a particular interest in Asperger Syndrome, and worked with many clients and their families or carers, providing diagnoses, counselling and advice about care and support.
This is a guide for those caring for or supporting an adult with AS. It will help them understand the condition and the difficulties it may cause so that they can offer support. Practical strategies are offered to combat problems that may arise, and common issues that specifically occur with individuals diagnosed later in life are addressed.
