The
following children’s books have been recommended to me, but I have not
reviewed them, nor do I have complete publishing information:
A
Little Book of Manners for Boys, by Bob & Emilie Barnes
Practical
Solutions to Everyday Challenges for Children with Asperger Syndrome: Haley
Myles (11 y.o. daughter of the author of The Hidden Curriculum). I think she
might have AS) AAPC is the publisher, I believe.
No
B.O.: The Head-to-toe Book of Hygiene for Preteens: Marguerite Crump.
As
a Gentleman would Say: Responses to Life's Important (and sometimes awkward
situations): John Bridge & Bryan Curtis. This teaches things like: when a
gentleman receives a gift that is a duplicate of something he already owns, he
says "What a great gift! I love it!"
Other
information
AAPC
publishes books specifically on autism spectrum disorders. The site has hundreds
of books written by and for people with ASDs.
Jessica
Kingsley publishes books on disabilities in general, but has LOTS of ASD books.
Different
Roads to Learning (difflearn.com) is a company developed by a parent of a child
with autism. It’s a great website for teaching materials. Superduperinc.com,
though not specific to ASD, also has a wealth of teaching materials.
