Product Description
Review
Jude Welton gives the young child with Asperger's the power of his own voice in explaining himself to his friends. Her calm and deceptively simple approach is complemented by Jane Telford's reassuringly everyday pictures. Parents have needed this book for a very long time. – Elizabeth Newson, Early Years Diagnostic Centre
Product Description
Meet Adam - a young boy with AS. Adam invites young readers to learn about AS from his perspective. He helps children understand the difficulties faced by a child with AS - he tells them what AS is, what it feels like to have AS and how they can help children with AS by understanding their differences and appreciating their many talents. This illustrated book is ideally suited for boys and girls between 7 and 15 years old and also serves as an excellent starting point for family and classroom discussions.

A Great Overview of Asperger's for Kids and Adults Alike,
By An A.S. Mother (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome?: A guide for friends and family (Paperback)
I had this book recommended to me by a professional when we were going through the diagnosis process. It is simply written and easy for anyone of any age to understand. My 9-year-old with A.S. felt relieved when he read it because he could relate to Adam in the story and I believe this book helped him understand himself better. We are now reading it with our 7-year-old, who had noticed his brother was different than he is. This book is written in simple enough language to help him understand his brother. The adults I have shared it with have also found it helpful.When you're faced with this diagnosis there are many great books you can read, but there is so much information to absorb it is easy to feel overwhelmed. This book keeps it simple enough to absorb the main points. Adam, the boy in the book, also tells readers that although there are many characteristics of A.S. they do not apply to every individual with Asperger's. For example he explains that he is bothered by loud noises, but others may be bothered by the feel of certain fabrics against their skin. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting to learn about Asperger's Syndrome and/or looking for a good book to share with others.

Terrific book!,
By Readaholic "Mike's Mom" (Ottawa, ON, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome?: A guide for friends and family (Paperback)
I purchased this book to open a dialogue with my 15 yr old Asperger son. He is aware of his diagnosis but we didn't really have anything to use to illustrate what that means to him, just vague ideas on social behaviour, etc. This book is so terrific, easy to read and understand. I am going to give a copy to each of his teachers every year. It explains what is in his head - things I know he feels and thinks but spelled out in a way that everyone can understand and accept. Good for all ages and a great tool for parents, family members and teachers.

BEST!!,
By Misty Wojak "Aspiemom" (Surrey, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome?: A guide for friends and family (Paperback)
I give this book to everyone the first time they meet my son, especially teachers and coaches. It is a short read but to the point and is instantly understandable to anyone.
