A 5 is against the law! Social boundaries : straight up! An honest guide for teens and young adults
Description: - vii, 47 p. : ill. ; 28 cm.
- "Building on Kari Dunn Buron's popular 'The Incredible 5-Point Scale', this book takes a narrower look at challenging behavior with a particular focus on behaviors that can spell trouble for adolescents and young adults who have difficulty understanding and maintaining social boundaries. Using a direct and simple style with lots of examples and hands-on activities, ' A 5 Is Against the Law!' speaks directly to adolescents and young adults. A section of the book is devoted to how to cope with anxiety before it begins to escalate, often leading to impulsive and unacceptable behavior. Throughout the book, the reader is encouraged to think about and create his own behavior on an anxiety scale that applies to his particular emotions and situations." - PUBLISHERS WEBSITE

Adolescents with autism spectrum disorder : a clinical handbook / edited by Nicholas W. Gelbar.
- "Adolescence is a challenging stage for all individuals, especially for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Individuals with ASD face increased social isolation and engage in more challenging behaviors during adolescence. They also experience increased mental health challenges including anxiety and depression, and they are among the least likely of any disability group to attend college, be competitively employed, or live independently. At the same time, adolescents with ASD face a major shift in available services and support as they exit the K-12 educational system. The need to present what is known about this group in order to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators cannot be understated. Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder synthesizes current science on adolescents and young adults with ASD in order to inform mental health practitioners and education professionals who work directly with these individuals. While early childhood interventions for ASD have been extensively developed and tested, research on adolescents and young adults with ASD has lagged behind until recently. This comprehensive handbook can be utilized to train students and professionals in applied mental health roles. The handbook includes three sections: Part I reviews diagnosis and treatment of adolescents with ASD; Part II details how to support their educational needs; and Part III discusses special populations including college students and young women. Chapters highlight recommendations for clinicians and include study questions and additional resources."--

Asperger's syndrome and anxiety : by Alis Rowe. Understanding challenging behaviour / Series: The visual guides | Visual guides
Description: - 85 pages : colour illustrations ; 22 cm.
- "Many of the behaviours demonstrated by autistic people are commonly described as being 'challenging'. The Girl with the Curly Hair explores what 'challenging' really means and finds out that it commonly means being 'difficult', 'naughty' or other negative descriptions. In this book she considers whether a more accurate description of 'challenging' might be 'aty[ical'. The feels that sometimes behaviours neurotypical people are not used to can be incorrectly perceived as challenging. She hopes this book will help neurotypical people better understand the autistic person's thoughts that lead to their behaviour. Is that person then seen in a different, more positive light?" - BOOK JACKET
