Beskrivning

Transfer Boy: Perspectives on Asperger Syndrome explores what it is like to be an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome, through interviews with Teodor, a 'psychologically unusual' twelve-year-old. In this detailed case study, Vuletic and Ferrari combine an autobiographical account with perspectives from other family members and people who know Teodor well, while simultaneously integrating psychiatric and psychological research on autism.The authors evaluate the merits and pitfalls of different interpretations of autism and address the broad psychological issues related to Asperger Syndrome - intelligence, social skills, memory, the transitional period from childhood to adolescence. The study includes results and interpretations of standard measures of self-concept, an IQ test and a psychiatric exam, contributing to the hitherto under-researched area of autistic self-knowledge.

Recensioner i media

Transfer Boy: Perspectives on Asperger Syndrome is a detailed look at a fascinating and complex human being. The authors method involved polling multiple perspectives, including Teodor Milhail's own first-person perspective, to build a collage that explores complexity.The view of the disability from the inside is compelling and often challenging.
