Asperger’s Syndrome - Navigating...

Coral Nunez

Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), is often misunderstood, yet it is a part of the broader spectrum of human neurodiversity. Individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome experience the world in unique ways, often exhibiting strengths in specific areas while facing challenges in social communication and sensory processing. The aim of this book is to provide a deeper understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, exploring the characteristics, challenges, and strengths that come with it, while promoting acceptance and celebration of neurodiversity.
Neurodiversity is the concept that neurological differences, including those seen in Asperger’s Syndrome, are a natural variation of human diversity. Instead of viewing these differences as deficits or disorders, neurodiversity encourages us to appreciate the value these variations bring to society. It emphasizes that individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome and other neurodivergent conditions offer unique perspectives, skills, and talents that are often overlooked or underappreciated in traditional settings.
Asperger’s Syndrome, in particular, is characterized by challenges in social interactions, communication, and the presence of restricted, repetitive behaviors or interests. However, these traits do not define the person as a whole. Many individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome possess exceptional abilities in fields such as mathematics, technology, music, and art. They may also demonstrate a deep, intense focus on subjects they are passionate about, allowing them to become experts in their areas of interest.

Brendan Kelly

Who is 'Mad'? Who is Not? And Who Decides?
In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines 'madness' in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
Covering lobotomy and the Nazis' Aktion T4 campaign, as well as Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from 'psychobabble' to 'neurobabble'.
This is an all encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche – madness – and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.
