Living Your Best Life with Asperger's Syndrome

Effectively accommodating the social and academic needs of children on the autistic spectrum is an important task in every school. "Living Your Best Life with Asperger's Syndrome" is a practical guide to benefit parents, teachers, Local Education Authorities and international autism organisations. Each chapter provides a summary followed by anecdotal stories that illustrate a point, describing how a young boy navigates his way through the social challenges that he faces every day. Issues covered include: diagnosis and recognising the difference, providing support and understanding, communication, and concrete thinking. The focus of the writing is how to live your best life despite your difference. "Living Your Best Life with Asperger's Syndrome" describes the problems and pain Karra Barber faced as her son changed and encountered difficulties at every stage. She also demonstrates her resilience and determination and the book is a celebration of her son and their relationship.
