Product Description

Review

'This little gem of a book is intended to be shared by parents or a child with Asperger's Syndrome with friends, family and school professionals and peers so that they may understand asperger Syndrome. [It] could be a very effective tool in establishing understanding and a circle of friends for a child with Asperger's syndrome aged 6-12. It includes simple but charming illustrations by artist, Jane Telford, and an excellent list of resources at the end of the book. This book packs a lot of wisdom and information into a small package.' -Autism Coach Website 'This is a brief book written to explain Asperger Syndrome, both to classmates and individuals on the spectrum ... It is sufficiently brief for a young audience, but also gives good, specific examples.' -The MAAP '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

4.0 out of 5 stars What a difference a book can make!, 1 Mar 2004
By T. J HUME (Acomb, York United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
When I bought this book I wasn't sure how exactly I was going to use it. My eldest son has Asperger's syndrome and is 8 years old. I thought it might be useful for informing his friends and staff at school what life was like for Jack. The book is set out well and is very easy to read, it outlines all the key areas of difficulty or difference for a child with Asperger's. One evening my son was having difficulty understanding his brother's emotions and I remembered that there was a page on this in the book. My son read the page and then insisted on reading the whole book. After finishing it he had a big smile on his face and exclaimed that everything in the book was the same as him and therefore did he have Asperger's syndrome? He seemed so relieved to know that other children had the same problems and started to tell me all sorts about he sees life. The book has certainly opened a little floodgate of communication with my son and he is now proud enough to go to school and tell his friends he has Asperger's. It is also a good blueprint for writing a similar booklet with your child to give to his/her own friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to AS for those who need to know, 16 Nov 2006
When our eldest son was diagnosed with AS we needed something to give to his older sister to help her understand what was being said about him.We chose this book and found it an excellent introduction not just for her but also adults in contact with him (such as a TA at school).

In an ideal world this book would only be needed for other children but until then this is a simple, effective and very readable introduction to AS for adults and children alike.

Buy more than one copy to give away!

5.0 out of 5 stars An extremely informative and clear book, 26 May 2008
By A. Fenton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After my son's diagnosis two months ago at the age of six I have been reading various books about Asperger's. I stumbled across this gem of a book and would thoroughly recommend it as a fabulously potted explanation of the spectrum of symptons and characteristics of AS. I have found that explaining the syndrome to others can be quite tricky but this book accomplishes this and can be read and understood in thirty minutes. I would suggest that all close family members, friends, teachers and fellow pupils would benefit hugely from this little book. It is delivered in palatable sections that cover all the main aspects of Asperger's behaviour and in a way that is sympathetic and calm. I find myself re-reading this book every month to remind myself of my son's perspective - it's quite invaluable.
