Look Into My Eyes: Asperger's, Hypnosis and Me

Description

Look Into My Eyes is an autobiography of one man's life through the lens of Asperger's syndrome - a high-functioning form of autism spectrum disorder. This second edition has a chapter by the authors wife about what it is like to be in a relationship with someone with autism spectrum disorder. She shares both the positive aspects, and the challenges that come from being in a relationship with someone with Asperger's Syndrome. As a small child Dan Jones knew he was different to other children, they would want to play football and interact with each other, he would want to crawl around searching for snails keeping himself to himself. Dan found his own coping strategies to manage his anxieties, discovering meditation as an eight year old, and hypnosis as a teenager. This book offers a rare insight into what it is like to live with Asperger's. Dan has a unique perspective; not only does he have Asperger's, but a large part of his professional life has been spent working with people with autism and their carers.
