Book - Parent
"This book shows how to work with your child's paradoxical combination of precocious talents and social difficulties to help him or her learn to engage more fully with the world." "Featuring everyday problem-solving ideas, the book is filled with real-life stories from families like yours. Useful strategies are described to help your child learn to interact more comfortably with siblings and peers, understand the rules of appropriate behavior, and become an active participant in school and family life. Also discussed are such crucial topics as talking to teens about sexuality and dating, coping with the challenges of high school and college, and crafting a plan for a fulfilling career." With these often-misunderstood disorders, getting a good diagnosis is paramount. You will learn the real differences between Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism and what your child's diagnosis means for his or her development. ..." -From the Publisher
