teacher says I'm rude. Through brief vignettes such as this, accompanied by black and white cartoon-like drawings, This Is Asperger Syndrome introduces siblings, peers and other children to the everyday challenges faced by children with Asperger Syndrome at home or at school. Written for children ages 6-12, the book may be read independently by older children and serves as an excellent springboard for further discussion led by parents and teachers. A special section, "Notes on Asperger Syndrome," at the end of the book summarizes the major characteristics of Asperger Syndrome. ----
WHAT PARENTS AND PROFESSIONALS ---- "The
booklet, This is Asperger Syndrome, written by Elisa Gagnon and
Brenda Smith Myles and illustrated by Sachi Tahara, is a wonderful resource
to introduce Asperger Syndrome to children on the spectrum, their peers,
neighbors, and even adults that need a simple and concrete explanation
of what this difference is. It gives the daily experience of a child with
Asperger Syndrome and the difficulty that he faces. As a person with autism,
I can relate to some of the things that he deals with. This would be a
good book to explain Asperger Syndrome to people..." "I
think This is Asperger Syndrome is a great tool for familiarizing
kids with this complicated disability -- it has clear example of the kinds
of mistakes our kids can make, and explains them from the child's perspective
to show that they are not wrong, just different. I also think that last
page, "Notes of Asperger Syndrome" is helpful in developing
a dialog about Asperger Syndrome with kids in class or other teachers..." About
