Hello and welcome to AspieMom.com. I am the proud mother of a ten year old daughter who was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2006. I love to talk to others who have Aspie children. I feel it is important to learn all we can not only so we can cope as parents but so we can help the kids cope as well.
Books about Aspergers
Written by Jill on January 1, 2008 – 11:48 am -I have been spending some time on Amazon.com this morning. I like to look, occasionally, for new books about Asperger’s that I might find useful. I found a few that I want to highlight here for both my own reference and for anyone else that might be interested.
Different Like Me: My Book of Autism Heroes — This book talks about famous and historical people that were either diagnosed or likely had a form of autism. It talks about how they were able to overcome their challenges and go on to do something great. An inspirational book.
I am Utterly Unique: Celebrating the Strengths of Children with Asperger Syndrome and High-Functioning Autism — An Alphabet book where each and every letter corresponds to a positive quality associated with Asperger’s. This is a very special book that deserves some recognition. A great self-esteem builder!
Asperger Syndrome: An Owner’s Manual–What You, Your Parents and Your Teachers Need to Know: An Interactive Guide and Workbook — A workbook for kids to explore their strengths and challenges.
Simple Strategies That Work! Helpful Hints for All Educators of Students With Asperger Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism, and Related Disabilities — A great resource for educators!!
When My Worries Get Too Big! A Relaxation Book for Children Who Live with Anxiety — Asperger’s and other disorders often go hand in hand with anxiety. This looks like a great book for kids to learn how to manage those overwhelming feelings.
What to Do When You Worry Too Much: A Kid’s Guide to Overcoming Anxiety (What to Do Guides for Kids) — Another book for helping kids deal with anxiety.
The Way to A: Empowering Children with Autism Spectrum and Other Neurological Disorders to Monitor and Replace Aggression and Tantrum Behavior — what appears to be an excellent resource in understanding and side stepping tantrums.
Obviously there are a million wonderful books out there but these are a few that I just happened to come across as I was browsing.
