Successful Social Articles into Adulthood (eBook, ePUB)

Growing Up with Social Stories(TM)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The first book to explain how to use an adult form of Social Stories(TM) to support autistic young adults. It focuses on some of the most common issues that arise as they enter the adult world, such as applying for a job, looking after physical and mental health, and staying safe in a new home.

Siobhan Timmins explores what can lead to particularly problematic situations, and shows how to construct effective stories that can enlarge understanding and reshape thinking to help young adults with autism approach the world in a confident and constructive way.

The stories engage with the various stages of applying for a job, adjusting to a work environment, maintaining physical and mental health, and staying safe. Along with the sample stories are explanations of how to create your own story to develop further understanding and draw connections between each story and the issues they explore. From practical skills such as dressing for an interview, to identifying emotions and recognising symptoms of depression, this book takes Social Stories(TM) a major step further and adapts them to the realities of adult life.
