Description:
During a routine parent-teacher conference in November 1991, Echo Fling was told by her son's teacher that his behavior in class was "not normal". After two years at the pre-school, five-year-old Jimmy had failed to make any friends, had recently had started to act aggressively towards his classmates, and was beginning to react violently to any changes in his routine. Echo was not taken completely by surprise; she had suspected for some time that her son was different to other children. For the next five years, she and her husband accompanied Jimmy to doctors, medical specialists, learning consultants and psychologists. Finally, at the age of ten, Jimmy was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.
Expand description
Eating An Artichoke tells Jimmy's story from his mother's viewpoint. As well as charting Jimmy's development from infancy to pre-adolescence, Echo provides practical advice for parents of children with Asperger's Syndrome. Her story illustrates the profound effect it has on the family. This is the book that she needed when she first set out to have Jimmy diagnosed, and it will enable parents and teachers to understand and help other children with Asperger's Syndrome.
