Asperger Syndrome and Social Relationships $19.95 'This book is essential reading to understand the social abilities of adults with Asperger's syndrome. The contributors each have different personalities and experiences, but together they provide a range of strategies to encourage people with Asperger's syndrome to achieve the social relationships they desire.'. - Professor Tony Attwood, author of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome. Social interaction among neurotypical people is complex and in many ways illogical. To the person with Asperger Syndrome (AS) it is also woefully unintuitive. In this book, adults with AS discuss social relationships, offer advice and support for others with AS and provide necessary insights into AS perspectives for those working and interacting with them. The contributors evaluate a range of social contexts and relationship aspects, including:. - online relationships - a worldwide social network based on non-verbal communication,. - the unwritten rules of neurotypical socialising,. - the need for mutual understanding between those with AS and neurotypicals,. - the effects of struggling socially on one's self-esteem and frame of mind, and. - the opportunities provided by social skills workshops or interest groups. This is essential reading for adults with AS, their family and friends, as well as service providers and other professionals providing support for people with AS in adult life. |

Asian American Parenting and Parent-Adolescent Relationships $129 The growing presence of non-European cultures in America brings new challenges to as well as opportunities for parenting research. Whereas particular constructs of parent-child relationships were once considered universal, we now recognize distinct cultural variations. This is especially true in the case of Asian Americans, a population encompassing many diverse ethnicities. Informed by a variety of qualitative and quantitative methodologies including detailed surveys of teenagers and their parents, Asian American Parenting and Parent-Adolescent Relationships focuses on Chinese and Filipino Americans-large populations with markedly different histories and cultural influences-giving readers a new lens into the nature and meaning of cultural differences in parenting. Synthesizing data on adolescent autonomy and dependence, parental support and control (both crucial to adolescents' wellbeing), and the rarely-explored concept of parental sacrifice, this ambitious volume:.:.; Compares the parental belief systems of European Americans and immigrant Chinese and their influence on parenting styles.; Discusses the role of measurement equivalence in understanding Asian American parenting practices.; Examines sacrifice as a central concept in Asian American parenting and in immigrant parenting in general.; Analyzes how Asian American teenagers understand the support and control provided by their parents.; Explores the dynamics of parent and child gender in Asian American parenting.; Places these findings in the context of previous parenting research and identifies new directions for the field. Asian American Parenting and Parent-Adolescent Relationships is a uniquely informative reference for researchers, clinicians, and graduate students across multiple disciplines, including developmental, clinical child, and school psychology, sociology, and anthropology as well as ethnic and women's studies. "A much needed and extremely thoughtful contribution to the scholarship on Asian American families. The authors rely on a variety of research methods to reveal patterns that challenge stereotypes and urge us to move beyond pan ethnic categories and explore the rich diversity among Asian Americans. This book is an exemplary study of culture and parenting.". - Niobe Way, President, Society for Research on Adolescence /. Professor of Applied Psychology, New York University |

Different Minds $24.95 Through recognizing the different levels and kinds of giftedness, this book provides an insight into the challenges and benefits specific to gifted children with attention difficulties. Explaining why certain children are gifted and how giftedness is manifested, each chapter on a specific topic addresses the relevance for children with AD/HD and Asperger Syndrome. Lovecky guides parents and professionals through methods of diagnosis and advises on how best to nurture individual needs, positive behavior and relationships at home and at school. Lovecky explores concepts such as asynchrony and the effects of such 'uneven' development on children, using case studies to illustrate emotional, intellectual, creative and social development. She also highlights the inadequate measures currently in place to assist parents and teachers and goes on to clearly define what is required to understand and help these children so that their needs can be met more positively in the future. Different Minds, with its wealth of practical and background information, is essential reading for all those who live or work with gifted children with attention difficulties. |

Among Friends $11.2 Among Friends is M.F.K. Fisher's memoir of her childhood in Whittier, California, from about 1912 to 1922. The Friends of the title are the Quakers of that community, and Mary Frances Kennedy, daughter of an Irish newspaper publisher, found them most unusual friends indeed. Never were the Kennedy children invited to a Quaker house, and they were taunted for being different, for having an Irish mother (in Whittier only cooks were Irish). Yet Mary Frances remained remarkably unfazed by these social slights, which were outbalanced by the orderly shelter of the Kennedy family, and Mrs. Fisher's portraits of her father, her mother, and Aunt Gwen are memorable and moving. Beyond the family there was the town: band concerts, Sunday parades, Saturday matinees, Liberty Bond drives, Elks Club Christmas specials, and the itinerant circus-all sinful delights the Quaker children were denied. Among Friends provides a fascinating glimpse into the background of one of our most popular and delightful writers, whom Cyra McFadden called a national living treasure. |
