The revised version of the Autism Society of America Award Winner (2008). This revised edition was greatly improved with the help of an autistic man, and it has earned rave reviews world wide.
The A 5 is Against the Law! workbook was created especially for adolescents and young adults who have difficulty with social boundaries. The book offers an honest and compassionate look at the kinds of social situations many teens and young adults struggle with.
The author uses a concrete, direct and simple approach, incorporating highly systemised scales and stories, to define and visually illustrate what is meant by social boundaries. The book is written in a very user-friendly style with excellent suggestions and activities that can be done in a 1:1 format or a small group, and with the support of a parent, teacher or therapist.
The idea behind the 5-point scale is to take an idea or behaviour and break it into five parts to make it easier to understand the different degrees of behaviour and, eventually, the consequences of one's behaviour.
A section is also devoted to anxiety and how to cope with this emotion before it begins to escalate, often leading to impulsive and unacceptable behaviour. Throughout the book, the reader is encouraged to think about and create their own behaviour and anxiety scale that applies to their particular emotions and situations.
