Autism as Context Blindness

Full of real-life examples and often humorous, this book examines context as it relates to observation, social interactions, communication and knowledge. The author explains in everyday terms how the autistic brain functions, with a particular emphasis on the apparent lack of sensitivity to and awareness of the context in which things happen. A large part of the book focuses on how to reduce context blindness in various areas and how vital this can be for successful functioning. Due to the farreaching consequences of context blindness, this book is a must for those living and working with somebody with ASD.
