Review
“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

Wish I had found this years ago,
By Cheryl B. Smith (Metairie, LA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asperger's What Does It Mean to Me?: A Workbook Explaining Self Awareness and Life Lessons to the Child or Youth with High Functioning Autism or Aspergers. (Paperback)
My son was only diagnosed with AS three years ago at the age of 10, but we have made much progress in the last three years. We are experiencing difficulties at school and I have been searching for ways to help him. This book has so many ideas and strategies, it's almost hard to know where to start, but I believe we will find what we are looking for in this workbook. What is so wonderful about it that it draws the child in, but provides much more for parents and teachers, also. Don't let the price discourage you, it's well worth it!

Good, but ready for the next edition!!!!!,
By arwMommy (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asperger's What Does It Mean to Me?: A Workbook Explaining Self Awareness and Life Lessons to the Child or Youth with High Functioning Autism or Aspergers. (Paperback)
I agree with the reviewer that was frustrated by the constant reference to "Autism" instead of "Asperger's". The fact that the TITLE of the book is "Asperger's" makes it all the more surprising, and difficult for us who purchased it for our AS kids to constantly encounter this term. I also want to warn parents that although this is a great book, it is CLEARLY FOR OLDER KIDS--- LIKE 9/10 YRS AND UP!!!! I purchased this for my 6 year old and it was WAY over his head, even with me trying to explain it. Also, so much of it is set up for the kids to do worksheets, and this just isn't possible until they are older. I have returned it, but am hoping that by the time I want to purchase it again in a couple of years, that the constant references to "AUTISM" will have changed, or the title of the book will have, to "AUTISM, what does it mean to me!!!!" (I am hoping for the former!) Waiting for the next edition......

THIS WORKBOOK IS MORE THAN A MUST! IT IS A NECESSITY.,
By Steve Horwitz Hart - Autistic Specialist (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asperger's What Does It Mean to Me?: A Workbook Explaining Self Awareness and Life Lessons to the Child or Youth with High Functioning Autism or Aspergers. (Paperback)
Catherine Faherty has created a masterpiece using "TEACCH" as an approach to working with "Aspergers" and high end "Autistic" children.This workbook is a must for parents, and for all teachers in the field of Autism/Aspergers. What makes Catherine's approach so unique is her outstanding ability, using worksheets, to help students with Autism and PDD (Pervasive Developmental She begins her book with a dynamic approach to help the student accept herself/himself for exactly the way they are. Many Autistic children have questions related to their disability. Through a carefully structured model, the author is able to guide an Autistic child through a series of discoveries tailored to his or her individual needs. The "TEACCH" approach begins at the point of the child's current educational requirements. The method does not force the child to learn educational material just because it is required by a specific curriculum. The individual student's immediate needs come first. ASPERGER'S: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO ME? accomplishes its goal. Catherine Faherty deserves 10 stars for writing a book that truly helps an Autistic/Asperger student develop at his or her correct learning level. Topics such as "How I Learn", Who I Am", "What My Interests Are", "How Can I Deal With My Disability?", are brought to fruition through worksheets, questions, and important information. The author also allows the student to discover there is no shame in being different. A lesson all of us need to "grasp" in today's world. Whether you are a teacher, a parent of an Autistic child, or an Autistic/Asperger student, this workbook is more than a must...it is a necessity. Catherine Faherty's book is brilliant! Steve Horwitz Hart - Autistic Specialist
