Can i tell you about asperger’s syndrome: a guide for family and friends

This is a well-written and accessible volume. The author and illustrator achieve a pleasant balance with the use of simple language and a range of everyday images. As a parent of a child with Asperger’s syndrome (AS), I think this book, which is specifically targeted at children aged seven to 15 years of age, is a useful tool for siblings, classmates and other members of the family. My parental and professional experience suggests that siblings and other extended family members are very much affected by the Asperger’s family dynamic and this book goes along way to include them in the explanation of the condition.
