I am Special 2
by Peter Vermeilen
With dvd
For years, experts have explained to parents and caretakers what autism is. But normally gifted people suffering from autism are also wondering, directly or indirectly, what exactly they are suffering from. Peter Vermeulen wrote a workbook especially designed for those people who, after all, read, think and understand differently. Even the lay-out of the book takes that into account.
I am Special is, in this new edition, a programme for psycho education with the purpose of improving autistic people’s selfknowledge, their general knowledge of autism and how to deal with it. The book proposes an empowering Socratic method.
I am Special is a genuine WORKbook; you have to work with it. Autistic children, youth or adults run through the different pages with the help of an adult. In this second edition, additions, corrections and suggestions of parents, autistic people and caretakers were included. The book comes with a dvd facilitating the development of proper personalized versions, resulting in a unique and creative book.
