Beskrivning

For parents of children with Asperger Syndrome ordinary parenting just doesn't always do it - AS kids need a different approach. Brenda is mother to thirteen-year-old Kenneth, author of Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything, and since his diagnosis at the age of eight she has gathered together the parenting ideas and tips that have had a positive effect on Kenneth's life. Brenda discusses parents' reaction to their child's AS and gives advice on how better to understand 'Planet Asperger'. This book helps parents to respond positively to the challenge of AS and find the 'treasure' in their child's way of being.

Recensioner i media

Brenda Boyd's book is a well presented and easy-to read guide for any parent or carer of a child with Asperger syndrome. It could be equally useful for a teacher with an AS child in their class. The beauty of this book is that it focuses not just on the needs of the child but on those of the parent too. The tips and strategies are not confined just to dealing with challenging behaviour, but also to helping you cope with it.
