Secondary title:	Developing social skills by adults with Asperger's syndrome
Secondary abstract:	In my term paper I have discussed Asperger's syndrome and its characteristics in life of an adult. This topic is rather unexplored in our area; lately, however, it attracts more and more attention. My aim has been to present life of an adult with Asperger's syndrome and describe significant differences between deficits arising in childhood, and those arising later, when such an adult integrates into society. Closer attention has been paid to recognising and expressing emotions and, moreover, to learning social skills, which can be of help to an adult with Asperger's syndrome, when communicating with others. The purpose of my research has been to discover the obstacles which adults with this syndrome more often encounter. The goal of my term paper has been to recognise the characteristics of deficits arising in adulthood of a person with Asperger's syndrome, to acquaint myself with successful strategies and characteristics of work with this kind of person, and, finally, to find out what his or her self-esteem and socialisation look like. A practical part presents the case study of a student at Ljubljana University, who was three years ago diagnosed as a person with Asperger's syndrome. I have carried out social skills training, which included ten individual meetings with the student. Five of them were dedicated to learning social skills with the use of social stories, another five, nevertheless, to learning how to express emotions with facial expression using a mirror. The last meeting was held in a group and was devoted to evaluating achievements and effectiveness of the learning methods used. I have discovered that social stories contribute to better understanding of social skills and this way to their more frequent use in communication with others. Furthermore, the learning method of expressing emotions with the use of a mirror enables a person with Asperger's syndrome to remember a specific facial expression, typical of a certain emotion, more easily; to more often use the appropriate one when expressing his or her own emotions in communication with others; and, consequently, to more successfully recognise other people's feelings.

Abstract (ePrints):	V svojem diplomskem delu sem obravnavala Aspergerjev sindrom in njegove značilnosti v življenju odrasle osebe. Obravnavana tema je v našem prostoru še dokaj mlado področje raziskovanja, v zadnjem času pa se ji namenja čedalje več pozornosti. Želela sem predstaviti življenje odrasle osebe z Aspergerjevim sindromom in opisati pomembne razlike med primanjkljaji, ki se pojavijo v obdobju otroštva, in primanjkljaji, s katerimi se posameznik srečuje kasneje, ko se kot odrasla oseba vključuje v širši krog družbe. Večjo pozornost sem namenila prepoznavanju in izražanju čustev ter učenju socialnih veščin, s katerimi si odrasla oseba z Aspergerjevim sindromom lahko pomaga pri vsakdanjem srečevanju z ljudmi. Namen mojega raziskovanja je bil odkriti ovire, s katerimi se odrasli s tovrstnim sindromom pogosteje soočajo. Cilj, ki sem si ga zastavila ob pisanju diplomskega dela, je bil spoznati značilnosti primanjkljajev, ki se kažejo v odrasli dobi osebe z Aspergerjevim sindromom, spoznati uspešne strategije in značilnosti dela pri delu z odraslo osebo z Aspergerjevim sindromom ter ugotoviti, kakšno je njeno samosprejemanje in vključevanje v širšo družbo. V empiričnem delu sem predstavila študij primera študentke ene izmed ljubljanskih fakultet, ki je bila pred tremi leti diagnosticirana kot oseba z Aspergerjevim sindromom. Izvedla sem trening socialnih spretnosti, ki je vključeval deset individualnih srečanj s študentko. Od tega sem pet srečanj namenila učenju socialnih spretnosti z uporabo socialnih zgodb, preostalih pet srečanj pa učenju izražanja čustev z obrazno mimiko ob pomoči ogledala. Zadnje srečanje je bilo skupinsko in je bilo namenjeno evalvaciji dosežkov in učinkovitosti uporabljenih metod učenja. Ugotovila sem, da socialne zgodbe pripomorejo k boljšemu razumevanju socialnih veščin in s tem k njihovi bolj pogosti uporabi le-teh pri komuniciranju z drugimi. Metoda učenja izražanja čustev s pomočjo ogledala pa osebi z Aspergerjevim sindromom omogoča, da si lažje zapomni izraz obraza pri posameznem čustvu, ga pogosteje uporabi pri izražanju svojih čustvenih stanj, in posledično tako posamezno čustvo bolje prepozna tudi pri drugih.
