Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
A clear, practical book to introduce people with ASD to their diagnosis and what it means. Has an introduction for the parent/professional on how to use the book and then lots of simple sheets with places to write and draw to introduce the concepts to the child. I like it.
The only draw back is that it is a bit American and medical, but you can easily miss out (or tear out) pages that don't fit your circumstances.

Format:Paperback
Good clear worksheets with explanation notes and suggested further activities, may not appeal to younger children and they need an IQ of 90 at age 10 to use it. Assumes good access to support services which may not be the case in England but is still an excellent book and good value for money.
