Asperger's:
What Does It Mean to Me?
 Faherty, Catherine
This
workbook gives children and teens with high-functioning autism and
Asperger's Syndrome an opportunity to understand themselves and their
diagnosis. Explaining that autism is "another way of thinking and
being", it offers activities that help children understand learning
styles, sensory experiences, artistic talent, other people,
communication, the school environment, friends, and feelings. In each
of these areas, introductory material is addressed to the parent,
teacher, or therapist explaining how they can help structure the
child's experience in order to promote understanding and positive
interaction. Special binding allows for easy photocopying for classroom
use.
Dr. Gary
Mesibov, director of the TEACCH program in North Carolina states, "The
author's marvelous ability to understand the perspectives of people
with autism and her wonderful talent of explaining difficult concepts
at a level they can understand is very special. This book is a very
unique opportunity to help people with autism . . ." Also available in
Spanish.

Autism through a Sister's Eyes
 Band,
Eve B. and Hecht, Emily
When young
people have questions about a brother or sister with autism or
Asperger's Syndrome, clear answers are hard to find.
"Why does
Daniel do that?" is the question ten year old Emily recalled asking her
parents as a young child when she first sought to understand her older
brother and his differences.
Written by
Eve Band, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist, this book gives voice to
Emily's story: her questions about her brother, her search for answers
about autism, her exploration of her feelings as a sibling of a
high-functioning autistic brother.
Told in
her voice, Emily's story is as uplifting as it is filled with valuable
information for parents and siblings - or any individual whose life is
touched by a person with autism or Asperger's Syndrome.
