Abstract

Recognising, expressing and understanding emotions helps young children make sense of their life experiences. Children diagnosed with autism can have significant difficulties with recognising and processing emotions which can lead to high levels of anxiety as they struggle to make sense of the unpredictable world around them.

The 'Fun with Feelings' programme is designed to help parents support their children with emotional regulation and to decrease anxiety. This guide is structured around 10 stages. The initial four stages prepare parents to implement the programme with their child. These stages help parents understand the causes of anxiety and provide practical strategies for creating a toolbox to reduce anxiety. The final six stages are used in conjunction with Having Fun with Feelings on the Autism Spectrum: A CBT Activity Book for Kids Age 4-8, allowing parents to support their child while working through the activity book.

Written by world-leading experts in the field, 10 Steps to Reducing Your Child's Anxiety on the Autism Spectrum provides the steppingstones for parents of young children with autism to better understand their child's emotional skill set and empower them to understand and articulate their feelings.

Abstract

L'adolescence et la puberté sont des caps qui peuvent se révéler difficiles, voire très douloureux à aborder. L'auteure, Pauline Aubry, après une période de rébellion pure et dure, a elle-même été victime de crises d'angoisse aiguës nécessitant l'hospitalisation. Aujourd'hui, elle va mieux et a décidé de « replonger » dans cette période critique en organisant un stage BD à l'attention de jeunes recevant des soins de longue durée dans un département de pédopsychiatrie. Elle en a tiré Les Mutants, un peuple d'incompris, un documentaire qui fut pré-publié dans l'excellente revue XXI.

L'album suit les cas d'Annabelle, Adrien, Pierre, Alice, Mathieu et quelques autres. Tous ont en commun un énorme mal de vivre et n'arrivent pas à trouver leur place : plus enfants, ils ne sont pas encore tout à fait des adultes. Ce spleen traditionnel est partagé, à un niveau ou un autre, par tout un chacun, mais dans ces cas présents, s'avère insupportable et nécessite un suivi personnalisé. Aubry illustre avec application et précision ces diagnostics. Elle présente également, avec ce qu'il faut d'autodérision, sa propre expérience et introduit les grands courants théoriques à ce sujet. L'ensemble est agréable à parcourir, car le ton général reste très léger et même drôle (l'univers médical est rempli d'anecdotes d'un humour noir aux vertus souvent cathartiques), malgré la gravité de son propos.
