Autism is a condition which renders the sufferer incapable of understanding meaning 'beyond the information given'. The autistic person has a purely literal relationship with reality and has difficulty in developing imagination. Theo Peeters regards autistic people as 'hyperrealist' in a world of 'surrealism' that we call 'normal'. Paradoxically, it is lack of imagination that makes dealing with an absence of imagination so difficult. This book not only provides a theoretical understanding of the condition to help carers to adapt to the autistic person's way of thinking, but also offers practical intervention strategies for education and treatment.

This review is from: Autism: From Theoretical Understanding to Educational Intervention (Paperback)
A concise and readable guide to understanding and working with autistic children, both in the classroom and at home, based on TEACCH methods. The book uses lots of first-person quotes from high-functioning people with autism to increase the reader's understanding of autism from the inside. One teacher working with an autistic child told me how helpful she found this.
