Customer Reviews

My 7 Year Old Aspie LOVES this book!
My son and I love this book. The stories and photos are highly relevant, and some make my son laugh. He loves to see how the children do the "wrong" thing and then the "right" way, and finds the wrong way highly amusing. HIGHLY recommended!

Excellent resource!!
I work as a Mobile Therapist/Behavior Specialist and this book is great for teaching social skills not only for children on the Autism spectrum, but any children needing assistance in learning or improving social skills. Parents can also join in!!! The pictures are real and the words are easy to understand. The pictures give a visual, reading the book gives the auditory and the pictures show great social cues and non verbal gestures, along with what the person may be thinking. I highly recommend this book.

A MUST HAVE for any parent with a child with ASD
I found this book to be exactly what we needed to help our ASD son understand social behaviours. In particular, when angry or upset, I would show him the picture of the boy in the book who counts to 10, takes 3 deep breaths and 'gets over' the incidence quickly, instead of sulking for hours about it!!! It has GREAT examples of everyday interactions with peers as well as teachers/ adults for him to best understand. ALthough he is verbal, I find a picture sequence really helps it sink in. THe only downside of this book is that some pictures are not as sharp quality.
