U.C. leneeeo Michigan Spine Institute Dr. Steven M Rapp and the Michigan Spine Institute Welcomes and Congratulates N ick Dubin has walked the walk growing to adulthood with Asperger's Syndrome," writes Robert A. Naseef, Ph.D., author, psychologist and father of an adult with autism. "Now as a professional, he talks the talk." Dubin wrote the new Asperger Syndrome and Anxiety: A Guide to Successful Stress Management (Jessica Kingsley Publishers; $19.95). This is the first Nick Dubin book to focus exclu- sively on Asperger's and anxiety. Dubin applies evidence-based treatments and self-help strategies — offering practi- cal advice on managing stress. Research has shown that people with AS are more likely to develop co-morbid mental health issues like depression and anxiety. People with AS must fit into a world that seems totally foreign to them, and this can increase feelings of alienation and anxiety, making life's challenges especially hard to cope with. Until now, there has yet to be a book on stress management for adults with AS. As a person with AS who has struggled with feelings of anxiety and learned how to overcome them, Dubin shares his own tried and tested solu- tions along with up-to-date research on stress management for individu- als with AS. The Birmingham resi- dent explores the key problem areas that can lead to anxiety for people with AS such as lack of social skills, difficulties estab- lishing romantic relationships and uncertainty about employment. "Nick Dubin is still in his early 30s',' writes Michael John Carley, executive director of the Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership. "But by the time he reaches 50, he may very well have written a book on every psy- chological byproduct of life lived in the behavioral minority. Asperger's Syndrome and Anxiety is another great contribu- tion towards our understanding all that the autism spectrum presents us" Dubin was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome in 2004. He holds a bachelor's degree in communications from Oakland University, a master's degree in learning disabilities from the University of Detroit Mercy and a specialist degree in psychology from the Michigan School of Professional Psychology. He is the author of Asperger Syndrome and Bullying and two DVDs, Asperger Syndrome and Employment and Being Bullied, all published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
