Have you ever been called a freak or a geek? Have you ever
felt like one? Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Over
the years Luke has learned to laugh at such names but there are other
aspects of life which are more difficult. Adolescence and the teenage years
are a minefield of emotions, transitions and decisions and when a child has
Asperger Syndrome, the result is often explosive. Luke writes briefly about
his younger autistic and AD/HD brothers, providing amusing insights into the
antics of his younger years and advice for parents, carers and teachers of
younger AS children. However, his main reason for writing was because "so
many books are written about us, but none are written directly to
adolescents with Asperger Syndrome. I thought I would write one in the hope
that we could all learn together".
Meet Adam - a young boy with AS. Adam invites young readers to learn
about AS from his perspective. He helps children understand the
difficulties faced by a child with AS - he tells them what AS is, what
it feels like to have AS and how they can help children with AS by
understanding their differences and appreciating their many talents.
This illustrated book is ideally suited for boys and girls between 7 and
15 years old and also serves as an excellent starting point for family

Asperger's If You Only Knew"A Family's Struggle with Asperger's Syndrome"
by Sophia Summers
As a child, Sophia Summers always knew she was different and misunderstood. Hers was a lonely life of obsession and passion, fraught with anxieties, vulnerabilities, confusion, and heartbreak. It wasn't until her son Josh was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) that Sophia sought her own eventual diagnosis with the same-and began her mission to fully research and understand AS and to discover and embrace the special way the brains of those with Asperger's are wired. In Sophia's remarkably candid and deeply personal memoir, she offers firsthand insight into the unique challenges and experiences of both living with Asperger's Syndrome and raising a child with AS. With the kind of clarity that only comes from true acceptance, Sophia shares the many practical and emotional coping skills she and her son have developed over the years for people in the spectrum of autism and their families, mental health professionals, and teachers. Asperger's-If You Only Knew is a triumphant true tale about coming to terms with one's essential self, trusting in others, welcoming laughter, and realizing one's true potential.It serves as an invaluable source of comfort, hope, and guidance to anyone touched by AS
As awareness of Asperger Syndrome (AS) grows, it becomes increasingly important that all professionals have a familiarity with and understanding of the condition. However, for teachers, who have minimal spare time, it is difficult to access the details they need for working with AS children without wading through extensive books aimed at parents and professionals. Asperger Syndrome - What Teachers Need to Know bridges this gap and is the ideal starting point for teachers wishing to learn about Asperger Syndrome and how best to work with and get the most from a child with an ASD. Providing a summary of currently available information on AS and covering all the key issues that will concern teachers (e.g. social skills, homework, playground behaviour, assisting with study), Matt Winter, a teacher himself, imparts tips and practical ideas that he has found successful and invaluable for anyone working in a school environment
