ABSTRACT
Coaching people forward to generate better conditions for themselves requires a specific dynamic, and is probably the subject of a great deal of the coaching literature that already exists. Actually, most people with Asperger's often have quite reasonable dreams for themselves which may be a little stereotypical, but are by definition well within the range most of us consider as an acceptable future. Asperger's syndrome sometimes seems to sabotage this natural desire, and then the family enters into this unknown territory for which none of the inhabitants is prepared. Many people with Asperger's are built to resist this entire process, being highly independent and private people. Asperger's syndrome brings its own dynamic to these manoeuvrings because it appears to enhance the ability the peoples all have to ignore the middle term space in which the peoples develop and operate strategies of new behaviour that move from the familiar to the new.
