This is a great guide which will be useful in instructing others in working with children with AS. It has simple strategies and clearly outlined ideas for avoiding meltdowns and improving interaction with others as well as tips on how to set up a visual routine. Can be applied to most school age levels. I will probably make copies of some of the sections.

Easy to read, easy to find information, this is an excellent book to share with teachers or with any adults who work with children diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Explains sensory issues as well as the Asperger's behaviors that typically baffle everyone around them. Brenda Myles Smith really "gets" Asperger's Syndrome!

I was given a few photocopies out of this book by the school when my child was diagnosed. Much of it is stuff we had already figured out... but it is VERY helpfull to have on hand when guiding others in dealing with my child.
