Essay on Changes in Behavioral Characteristics
Echo R. Fling’s Eating an Artichoke: A Mother's Perspective on Asperger's Syndrome is a story of a mother's struggle to cope with her son's unusual behavior. Echo Fling was told by her son's teacher that his behavior in class was “not normal.” After two years of preschool, five-year-old Jimmy had failed to make friends, had recently started to act aggressively toward his classmates, and was beginning to act 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 from other children. Over 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 Syndrome. This is the book that Echo Fling 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 Syndrome.
Fling explores her son's perception of his world and other people's perception of her son. Tenderly and lovingly, she portrays her personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences and those of her child over a five-year period in the life of her family. The title of the book refers to an artichoke from which Fling and others “have to peel back the thorny layers to get to the heart of what is truly the issue” with her son. Fling is president of ASPEN of America (Asperger Syndrome Education Network), a nonprofit advocacy organization. This advocate provides a personal account of her experiences as a parent of a child with AS. She offers readers an inside view of how families deal with the often frustrating but never dull moments of raising a child with this disability. This book is recommended to others who need to understand that they are not alone in confronting their daily life challenges.....................
