Sex. Slang. Slumber parties. The preoccupations of adolescents with Asperger’s Syndrome are no different than those of other teens, but they can be much more confusing. The lack of social skills and ability to grasp conversational nuances make adolescence the most difficult life stage, especially for young adults with AS. Child psychologist Teresa Bolick presents strategies for helping the ten to eighteen-year-old achieve happiness and success by maximizing the benefits of AS and minimizing the drawbacks. Along the way, you’ll be inspired by success stories of dozens of AS teens.

A book that will never become irrelevant or “outdated.” Every child who uses it also becomes its “co-author.” Each chapter is divided in two parts: the first part—the “Workbook”—is for the child to complete, by writing or highlighting “What is True for Me” in lists of simple statements. The second part—“For Parents and Teachers”—contains helpful tips/information for the adult who guides him through the exercises. The book will provide insight into your child’s mind, and make him/her more self-aware, learning what autism means in relation to crucial areas of his/her life: friendships, fears, abilities, and much more.
