Asperger’s Syndrome - Learning...

Ava Holgreen

When we first meet someone, we quickly form an impression based on their appearance. The way they dress, their facial expressions, body language, voice, tone, and behavior—all these small details contribute to the image we create of their personality, guiding our subsequent interactions. Some individuals, like those with Asperger's syndrome, may struggle to pick up on subtle social cues that others easily recognize. This difficulty can make social interactions challenging and uncomfortable, sometimes leading to anxiety and depression. 
A lack of awareness or understanding of Asperger's syndrome in the general population can create significant difficulties for those affected by it. People with Asperger's often find it challenging to engage in reciprocal conversations and may lack certain social insights. However, if others make an effort to understand these challenges and provide support, it can help prevent anxiety and depression in individuals with Asperger's. These individuals often have intense interests in specific subjects and perceive the world in unique ways.

What to Say and How to Say It to...

Tim Shoemaker, Mark Shoemaker

There are things we absolutely need to talk to our teens about, but what we say, how we say it, and when we say it make all the difference between them embracing truth and becoming the person God designed them to be—or driving them away. Will they listen? How will they take it? These are legitimate worries that can keep us from saying anything—or have us second-guessing everything we did say. 
 
 
 
What to Say and How to Say It to Your Teen is your field manual to clear, compassionate communication with the son or daughter who no longer thinks you have all the answers—even though they have more questions than ever, like Why can't I have my phone in my room at night?; Why do I have to go to church?; How can God allow bad things to happen?; What can I do about the anxiety or depression I'm feeling?; Why can't I just date for fun?; Why do I have to get a job?; and Why does it matter who I hang out with? 
 
 
 
From shifting views on gender to questioning faith to struggling with honesty or respect or porn, the teen years are tough. They're also some of the most important years for you to offer guidance. This book will help you handle thirty of the trickiest conversations you need to have with your teen.
