Asperger’s Rules! How to Make Sense of School and Friends

Blythe Grossberg. APA/Magination, $14.95 paper (128p) ISBN 978-1-4338-1128-9

Grossberg provides an upbeat and supportive guide for readers with Asperger’s, covering feelings and emotions, teachers, asking for help, and dealing with bullies. Quizzes let readers reflect on their own approaches to situations like interacting with kids at school, and Grossberg also includes tips on how to interpret social situations (“Sometimes, conversations are really about nothing. Kids just like to say silly things or kid around”). Flowcharts illustrate how various conversations might progress, and other sections focus on dressing properly and eating healthful meals. The invaluable advice should help readers navigate new challenges. Ages 9–13. (July)
