It offers the first in-depth exploration of the history of attitudes and beliefs about autism that incorporates the perspectives of individuals on the spectrum themselves, working as co-constructors of autism research and future practice. From 'savant syndrome' to the conception that people with autism lack empathy, each chapter examines a different social myth - tracing its origins, highlighting the implications it has had for individuals on the spectrum and their families, debunking misconceptions and reconstructing the myth with recommendations for current and future practice on the basis of cutting-edge research. This book offers researchers, practitioners, individuals and families living with autism spectrum disorder a deeper, more accurate, more comprehensive understanding of the beliefs about the traits and abilities of individuals on the autism spectrum; with practical ways to re-shape these into more proactive and supportive practices, it offers an alternative view in which individuals on the spectrum are presumed to be competent and capable of constructing their own futures. 001398190 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 24, 2019). 001398190 650_0 $$aAutism spectrum disorders. 001398190 650_0 $$aAutism. 001398190 650_6 $$aTroubles du spectre de l'autisme. 001398190 650_6 $$aAutisme. 001398190 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001398190 7001_ $$aWebster, Amanda A.,$$eauthor 001398190 7001_ $$aGoodall, Emma,$$d1971-$$eauthor. 001398190 7001_ $$aRowland, Susannah$$c(Writer on autism spectrum disorders),$$eauthor. 001398190 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aBennett, Matthew.$$tLife on the Autism Spectrum : Translating Myths and Misconceptions into Positive Futures.$$dSingapore : Springer, ©2019$$z9789811333583 001398190 852__ $$bebk 001398190 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-3359-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001398190 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1398190$$pGLOBAL_SET 001398190 980__ $$aBIB 001398190 980__ $$aEBOOK 001398190 982__ $$aEbook 001398190 983__ $$aOnline 001398190 994__ $$a92$$bISE
