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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just what it says on the cover, 15 Jan 2003
By A Customer
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.
