Asperger's
Syndrome
by Sue Spataro, RN,
BSN
 What
is it & does your child have it?
 AS is defined as a form of autism. It was
"discovered" by Hans Asperger's back in 1944. It is stressful for kids with AS
to interact with other kids and adults. Though they may desperately want to have friends
they find that it's very hard to "read" and understand what others mean. It's as
if they are "emotionally blind". Find out how to recognize AS in your child,
what experts in the field have to say about this condition, and what you can do help make
you life better.
Teaching Autistic
Children
Who Aut to Be Home!
by Tammy
Glaser
The
role of homeschooling in autism
Because traditional classrooms bombard their delicate senses, autistic children
learn more freely at home. The "experts" discourage diving into homeschooling,
so parents cautiously dip their toes into supplementing part-time. Once they wade into
full-time teaching, many find the waters refreshing! Find out more about autism through
the personal journey of Tammy Glaser and her autistic daughter, Pamela with supporting
resources and available discussion groups.

Asperger's
Syndrome:
A Guide for Parents and Professionals
by Tony Attwood, Lorna Wing
 
Not many books can truly be called "must-have", but if you have a child
with Aspergers, teach a child with Aspergers or deal in any way with a child with
Aspergers, you NEED this book. One reader said, "I find myself referring so often
back to it to help me understand my 5 year old son. I think my favorite part of this book
is that it's positive---it doesn't gloss over the tough parts of life with AS, but it
leaves you feeling the author truly likes and admires those with AS."
