Aus dem Rahmen gefallen

There are many prejudices about autistic individuals, perpetuated by films like Rain Man, which continue to shape the common image of an autistic person today. But what is autism really, and how can we better understand autistic individuals? Dr. Peter Schmidt, an Asperger's autistic and highly gifted geophysicist, explains the typical behaviors of autistic individuals and how these are perceived from both an internal and external perspective. Misunderstandings are inevitable in social and workplace interactions when non-autistic individuals do not take into account the different perceptions and specific needs of autistic people. This book provides a well-researched yet entertaining contribution to this topic.
