Product Description
Dr. Temple Grandin and Sean Barron use their colorful life stories to explain the unwritten rules and patterns of social relationships. They create guidelines for living and working with others and illustrate their infinite applications, in even the most complex situations. The authors? brilliant insights are invaluable to anyone who has ever felt "outside the norm" in school, at work, or when relating to people in general. PDr. Grandin has received enormous accolades for her best-selling book iAnimals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior/i, but, more often than not, it?s because she "has transformed autism from being an unfortunate disability to being an enviable advantage that many of us would give anything to experience." She and her co-author Sean Barron carry this mantle one gargantuan step further with iUnwritten Rules/i. They give us insight into our own world like no one else has.

Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships November 30, 2008
Very fabulous insight into the world of ASD and being a grandmother to an Aspie I welcome all the info I can gather. Such an interesting world and Temple Grandin and Sean Barron are heros to share their life experience and expertise. Thanks so much for your wisdom!!

As a man in my 40's who recently discovered I have symptoms of Asperger's, this book was very helpful. It's a well written, easy read. The stories and advice of the two authors are interwoven in such a way to provide alternate perspectives. Grandin is logical. Barron is emotional. The authors offer practical advice in compensating for literal rigid thinking, anxiety by adjusting diet and increasing flexibility and learning social rules. Grandin speaks frankly. I learned much about myself and other people.

The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships: Decoding Social Mysteries Through the Unique Perspectives of AutismAs the parent of 2 children and a husband with Asperger's, this book (I've read many)has many Aha moments. Very well written and very insightful. A must read for parents, teachers, etc. who work with children with Autism and Aspergers. I originally bought this book to help my now teenage boys with the social aspects of growing up but I have learned just as much if not more about how they look at life.
Great information February 13, 2008
This book if filled with great information about Temple and Sean growing up in and how their disorder effected all parts of their lives. This book is beneficial for other families and for professionals. I highly recommended this title!

"Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships" Decoding Social Mysteries Through the Unique Perspectives of Autism", by Temple Grandin Sean Baron and Editor Veronica Zysk. Future Horizons, TX 2005. ISBN 1-932565-06-X. HC 383 pages, no illust., 3 pgs. Ref. 9 1/4" x 6 1/4".br /br /An intense, factual expose of the autistic mind-set interpreted through the minds of two published writers, both of whom worked successfully to overcome their ASD (autism spectrum disorder) disabilities, including AS (Asperger's) or Aspies. The book's format was uniquely addressed by having a skilled editor monitor major issues and allowing the authors to define explicate personal experiences varied techniques they used to overcome obstacles and deficiencies, nearly all of which involved social interaction with peers, parents professionals (teachers or employers).br /br /Importantly the spectral divergence of afflictions were compared and categorized into basic subtypes as Imaging vs Logical (flat affect) vs Emotional types; noting need to become integrated in society through compensatory, modified behaviors, while stressing importance of obtaining early help through parenting, mentors, professionals and inherent need to gain motivation and self-esteem. Great emphasis is placed on the "Ten Unwritten Rules of Social Relationship", most of which are social skills behaviors taught under generic term of manners, etc., and are discussed in a highly emphatic but coherent manner. Specific weak links in ASD include rigidity of thought behavior, difficulty in multi-tasking, emotional absence or lability, lack of perspective thinking, and naivete or guilelessness wherein unfair advantage is easily taken of them.br /br /The book, as a primer teaching tool, rightfully contains modest prolixity, which in and of itself is common to ASD. The mismatch of the sensory inputs (visual, auditory, touch, etc.) often requires environmental adjustments or elimination, at times the use of medications or special diets, and regular exercise is emphasized. Conclusions include some brief synopses of other ASDs having diverse problems, some undiagnosed until adulthood. Current era where societal integration is less tightly bonded, family units fragmented and a heightened if not frantic pace of living reigns in a culture of increasing acceptance of using drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex, video-games, C-Ps and self-importance causes authors to suggest current-day treatment is more difficult than during the 50's and 60's when BW TV was monitored. br /br /This is a book that everyone, affected or not, would learn a great deal about successful societal integration.
