Product Description
This workbook is designed for a child toqwork throught with an adult - parent, teacher or professional. It is divided into two parts. The firstis a theoretical introduction which explains how to inform children that they have autism or Asperger Syndrome and how to use the worksheets with groups or individuals. The second part consists of a series of worksheets which the child works through with an adult to create a personal book about him or herself. It includes a series of exercises that present autism positively. They strike a balance between general facts, information about autism and personal information, covering the strengths an autistic person may have as well as the difficulties they face.

This book has many positive attributes
I believe that there is something for everyone in this book. We didn't find it negative at all.
There are many different worksheets in this book. We chose to use this in many different ways, over the course of several weeks.
Our school psychologist also had a copy, and some of the worksheets were done at school with her, either alone, or in a small group.
We chose to take it slow, allowing our son to move at his own pace. We found it really nice to have a book to help us introduce autism to him, since he never really came to us to ask about his differences. (Two psychologists told us it was time.)
As we started progressing through the book, he started asking more questions, and actually wanting to do more of the worksheets!
I really recommend this to parents who are struggling with HOW to explain autism to their children. Just use your own common sense and use the various worksheets in the way that makes the most sense for your child.
Did not find this helpful
I found this book very negative. It was not at all what I was lookin for. I did not find it helpful, to people preparing to introduce autism to those in the spectrum.
