Asperger's disorder is a common neuropsychiatric condition that affects children's abilities to understand and become involved in social interaction. When a child in your life struggles with Asperger's or Nonverbal Learning Disorder (NLD), developing social skills will be a particular challenge for him or her. This illustrated workbook-written by the founders of SuperKids, an innovative program that treats hundreds of children with Asperger's disorder each year-offers simple exercises you can use to facilitate this important process. Knowing Yourself, Knowing Others includes activities that will help kids with Asperger's disorder and related conditions learn how to read social cues, avoid meltdowns, understand others' needs and intentions, resolve conflicts with friends, build basic nonverbal skills, and more.

This is a very well written book for my boys and I use use. Both of them have Asperger's so I got one for each of them to work through. I've shared them with their teachers so we can work together on what they are working on.
