These are the ones I found most useful and couldn’t make it without them. They are available in most book stores or libraries. No particular order just took them off my shelf and listed them here. There is so much out there it can get overwhelming. Take your time, ask around, read and talk, and share ideas that worked or didn’t with other parents of Aspie’s. Send me your top pick(s) and let's get them posted, too. The mother load can be found at Jessica Kingsley Publishers I Highly recommend you visit this site some time. There is always something new in the works. The resources available are phenomenal! Many of these you can find at the library. The Complete Guide To Asperger's Syndrome Tony Attwood ( hang on to your hats - this book is by far the greatest one yet! It just came out everyone needs to read this Dr. Attwood is truly the foremost authority I think) The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome Patricia Romanowski Bashe / Barbara L. Kirby (an awesome book- and be sure to check the O.A.S.I.S website and message boards. I about fell out of my chair when I stumbled on to them way back when. You will be amazed, relieved, and empowered) Asperger’s Syndrome A guide for parents and professionals Tony Attwood (this book really opened my eyes- the master at work -grab it) Asperger’s Syndrome and Difficult Moments Practical solutions for tantrums, rage, and meltdowns Brenda Smith Myles / Jack Southwick (lot’s of great stuff to try, but go slow and make sure you're all on the same sheet of music here) The Complete IEP Guide: How to Advocate for Your Special Ed Child Lawrence M. Siegel (This book is a great resource for learning the legal way, IEP, meetings, paperwork, and what you need to know about taking care of business for your Aspie) A Parent's Guide To Special Education: Insider advice on How to Navigate the System... Linda Wilmshurst / Alan W. Brue (This book covers it all - you need this one go get it now or look for it on line at www.amacombooks.org) Eating an Artichoke A mother’s perspective on Asperger Syndrome Echo R. Fling (a nice heartwarming story) The World of the Autistic child Bryna Siegel (the first book I ever read on the subject) Helping a Child with a Nonverbal Learning Disorder or Asperger’s Syndrome Kathryn Stewart, PhD (the second book I ever read on the subject) Asperger’s Syndrome and Adolescence Teresa Bolick, PhD (very good insight for the parent of a younger child looking forward or facing a teenager) The Autistic Spectrum Lorna Wing, M.D. (you need to read this book) Asperger’s...What does it mean to me? Cathrine Faherty. (you need to get this work book for your child- as much as for yourself. You can share it with your child's educator too- Self awareness is critical for the Aspie development, and this does a wonderful job of connecting it all together. When you sit down and read/ do this together it is an awesome thing dad!) Asperger’s Syndrome & your Child Michael D. Powers PSY.D. / Janet Poland (a good one too) Asperger’s Huh? A child’s perspective Rosina G. Schnurr, PhD (you need this book when you are ready for the ‘Aspie talk’ with your child. My guy carried it around for days and still goes back and reads it now and again) Pretending to be Normal Leanne Holliday-Willey ( suggested by: Tom from Wales, UK. He liked it -I admit it wouldn't be my first choice as I had a little trouble relating at times...you should decide!...it's a nice story of one Aspie's life. Thanks Tom for submitting.
Got a favorite book that opened your eyes! Send the info to me, let's share knowledge! |
