'Home Educating Our Autistic Spectrum Disorder Children' ISBN 1 84310 037 1

Review:- A very informative book about the experiences of several families who took the step of teaching their ASD children themselves.

'Autism- An Inside Out Approach' Donna Williams  ISBN 1 85302 387 6

Review:- Written by an Autistic woman it views Autism from her personal perspective. It allows a greater understanding of how many behaviours manifest themselves but at times becomes a little complex to follow ! Some useful strategies.

'Upside-Down Brilliance' The Visual Spatial Learner.  Linda Kerger Silverman  ISBN 1 932186 00

Review:- Fun and interesting reading concerning this type of learning. Applicable to many children with ADHD and Asperger Syndrome.

'Asperger Syndrome - A guide for parents and professionals' Tony Attwood. Jessica Kingsley Publishers

'The Curious Incident of The Dog In The Night' Mark Haddon. ISBN 0 099 45025 9

Review:-A fiction book about a boy with Asperger. A great read and helps some behaviour to fall into place.

'Behaviour Concerns And Autistic Spectrum Disorders', Explanations and Strategies for Change. John Clements and Ewa Zarowska.  Jessica Kingsley ISBN 1853027421

Review:-An interesting and focused book on attempting behaviour changes. Worth reading and has some sensible suggestions albeit aimed at more difficult behaviours.

Also reviewed by the NAGC (National Association of Gifted Children) as a book well worth considering. Supporting people who deal with autistic individuals but can be equally interesting for those who appear gifted.

Review: A compliation of parental and personal accounts of the differing facets of ASD’s. Easy reading and moments of connection but it will not enlighten all cases or be totally applicable. However, a brilliant ‘all about myself’ story at the back written by a child with Asperger. Very informative and useful for giving to other interested parties perhaps

Review: Quite a deep and complex book for anyone not clear on theory based approaches but some great quotes from Autistic individuals themselves which really highlight how the neurotypical society we live in should think twice about trying to ‘normalise’ autisitics

Review: Cool book, easy to read and offers great insight into the world of the Asperger teenager. Doesn’t deal with coping with anger and disappointment however. I suppose some of this will come down to how open the communication channels are for these individuals with parents or schools.

Review: An informative book written by an individual with Asperger as she recounts her own school years. Includes many comments from others. Simply a very poor advert for the mainstream school system and its part in making life incredibly difficult for such people.

Asperger Syndrome, The Universe and Everything, Kenneth Hall. ISBN 1-85302-930-0

Review: Kenneths account of how it is to be Asperger is refreshing and positive. Helpful to see that some children are able to discuss themselves to this extent (contrary to the idea that many Aspeger children cannot do so). However, he is also considered gifted and this indicates a dual exceptionality child. On going is the debate that giftedness can coincide with Asperger or not!
