Book of the Month:

The beginning of the new school year is the time to revisit our resource libraries to insure we have relevant information about Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) for staff, parents, and students. Tony Attwood is a renowned child psychiatrist who has dedicated his life to helping individuals with AS. The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome provides valuable insights about the topic and offers a comprehensive overview of some of the challenges students may experience as they attempt to manoeuvre through the neurotypical world. A broad range of topics is covered, including: Social Understanding and Friendship; Teasing and Bullying; Cognitive Abilities; and, Life after School. In addition to helping us understand the complexities of the diagnosis, Dr. Attwood includes some very practical strategies that can help make a difference. These strategies can also help those students with AS better understand their uniqueness as they learn to manage in a social world. This book is highly recommended for every school resource library.
