Asperger's… What Does It Mean To Me?:
Structured teaching ideas for home and school

by Catherine Faherty

Item: 9781885477590

Format: softcover
Pages: 327

This is a book that will never become irrelevant or “outdated.” Every child who uses it also becomes its “co-author.” Each chapter is divided in two parts: the first part — the “Workbook” — is for the child to complete, by writing or highlighting “What is True for Me” in lists of simple statements. The second part — “For Parents and Teachers” — contains helpful tips/information for the adult who guides him through the exercises. The book will provide insight into your child’s mind, and make him/her more self-aware, learning what autism means in relation to crucial areas of his/her life: friendships, fears, abilities, and much more.

Reviews
“This is information that every kid with autism should have.”
- Thomas Johnson, a ten-year-old

“This book offers another approach to furthering the understanding of autism … encouraging autistic children to learn more about themselves, and guiding them through a journey of self-discovery. It is a valuable resource for awareness and … self-esteem! Such a book could have been very helpful to me and my family when I was a child.”
- Dave Spicer, diagnosed at age 46

“It is important to understand that as a child, people bothered me. I didn’t know what they were for or what they would do to me. They were not always the same and I had no security. Even a person who was always nice to me might be different sometimes. Things didn’t fit together for me with people.”
- Sean Barron, Author of There’s a Boy in Here
