westie Report post Posted May 18, 2006 Aspergers.... what does it mean to me (a workbook explaining self awareness and life lessons to the child or youth with high functioning autism and aspergers. Catherine Faherty is the author, ISBN188547759-7 It is a workbook for the child and the parent/ teacher to look through and complete TOGETHER (not just advice for parent/ teacher). Chapter 1 covers topics such as "how to use the book", "strengths and talents", "autism is a thing about me", "what is autism", "Why do I have autism" and "was I born with autism". Other chapters cover "ways of thinking", "The sensory experience", "Artistic talent", "people", "understanding", "thoughts", "communication", "school""friends", "feeling upset" Many topics are covered within each chapter, pages which are a workbook for child and parent/ teacher to complete, and also some guidance and info. for parents and teachers to read about how to introduce the topic and work with the child to help them learn. Has anyone else seen used this book. I have bought it and it looks good (was made aware of it by professional who assessed my son and who is going to advise on which particular chapters are relevant to him, though I will look through it all as it looks interesting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
