As soon as I found out that our son has Aspergers Syndrome I jumped online and started looking for the best Asperger's books I could find and bought four(!) at an online bookstore that same day. Instantly Downloadable Asperger's Syndrome ebooks and guidesFirst, a list of instantly downloadable books and guides. Sometimes when I need help or an answer I need it *now*, not in 2-5 days when a book I order finally arrives. By then we're off on a new tangent anyway and there's something else I need an instant answer to. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. :) If You're Feeling Worried or Confused About Asperger's Syndrome Then This May Be The Most Critically Important Website You'll Ever Read... This mom has developed four instantly downloadable books that help you help your child to keep his/her power and integrity intact. She empowers parents and helps them to enjoy their amazing children. She has over thirteen years experience and she holds an academic qualification of 'Post Grad Cert in Advanced Disabilities Studies', and she's working on her Masters Degree in Human Services.

She lives my life (and the lives of many of my readers). The three bonus books are excellent. I'd pay for them if they weren't free bonuses. :) The Parenting Asperger's Resource Guide I have been in contact with Dave Angel (the author of this book) for several years now and the man knows what he's talking about (I've even emailed him direct with questions about what to do in this or that situation with my child). And he's fun. He does videos while wearing costumes, I have laughed out loud and am actually grinning as I write this. At the very least, click through and read his page.

Kindle Books and Kindle ReadersFirst a note on Kindle Readers before the list of Kindle Asperger's books. This is the Kindle But Kindle books do also work on some computers, iPads, iPods, and smart phones but nothing beats being able to curl up and read a book on your Kindle. If you can swing it a Kindle would an outstanding, excellent Christmas gift (or other occasion) for yourself! The Kindle version of books are often less expensive than the soft cover and hard cover versions of the books so the Kindle will actually pay for itself in savings on books and imagine the saved space in your home. I admit that I love having books on a shelf (I love books) but my house seems to be going through a phenomenon of getting smaller and smaller -- every little bit of storage space I can get by clearing out books will make a huge difference for me (and for my elbows, knees, and toes which all seem to be taking a beating lately). ;-) I don't have this book but I have read good things about it. I'd love to hear your opinion on it if you have it or purchase it. I wasn't aware of this book when I needed it most. Cameron was bullied so terribly, so terribly, it was literally an every day thing, sometimes more than once a day. And when one bully got away with it then another bully would go after him. Our kids are such easy targets. Some schools are getting on board and starting anti-bullying programs and many states as well but unfortunately it still isn't being taken seriously enough, even by those schools and states that have instituted programs. Even many school administrators and teachers are bullies. I've run into school administrative bullies in FOUR schools (his elementary school, the two middle schools he was in, and now his high school [although after much clawing and teeth gnashing, I did get the office bully at his high school to come around and see things my way]). This was one of the first books I bought. It introduced me to my son's world. I'd been floundering through for so many years and when he was finally diagnosed at 12 years of age, this book really helped me to understand a lot of what was going on with him. I don't have this book yet but it's written by Tony Attwood who wrote the book shown above this one, the book that was one of my first after my son was diagnosed. And it seems to be a popular book from what I've heard and have been told. Asperger's Syndrome hard cover and paperback booksby Kathy Hoopman This is the coolest, cutest, and one of the best Asperger's books, definitely one of the best Asperger's books to help children with Asperger's Syndrome, and their siblings/cousins/friends, to understand! Whenever one of Cameron's friends, or anyone else really, asks me to describe Asperger's Syndrome I hand this book to them. It sits on our coffee table because it is such a CUTE book (the cover alone draws people to it) and it explains Asperger's Syndrome so incredibly well. It's a VERY quick read (the kids read it in 15-20 minutes) yet his friends "get it" as soon as they read it. One of his friends asked me the other day "Cameron says he has Asperger's Syndrome. What exactly is Asperger's Syndrome?" I handed him this book, he was finished in about 20 minutes and I then asked him "Do you see Cameron in it" and his response was "Oh yeah!". I can't recommend this Asperger's book enough. I even bought one for Cameron's high school! Definitely one of the best Asperger's books, especially for kids and others who are not into reading!
Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 by Thomas W. Phelan Don't let the title of this book fool you. It is not just for kids up to age 12. We started using this book when Cameron was 14 years old (kids with Asperger's are often several years behind emotionally than they are chronologically) when we started using it, and although he's 17 now, I still use it. Absolutely without a doubt this is one of the best Asperger's book for parents (but it's not just for kids with Asperger's, it just happens to work incredibly well for kids with Asperger's). I'd go so far as to say that this Asperger's book is #1 when it comes to helping to modify your child's behaviors. I get such excellent results when I follow the suggestions in this book. Some of the author's methods I use as written and some I use as springboards to create my own methods. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this book a 20 minimum. :o) I don't want to sound like I'm selling this book (which I guess in a way I am) ;o) but this book has really, really helped me. I promise you that this book is amazing.
A Guide for Parents and Professionals By: Tony Attwood I practically devoured this Asperger's book! It was the first book about Asperger's Syndrome that I purchased after learning that Cameron has Asperger's Syndrome. The author, Tony Attwood is a practicing clinical psychologist specializing in Asperger's Syndrome. I had plenty of "hit the forehead and say Ohhh that's why he does this or says that..." experiences while reading this book. At some times it seemed that I was interrupting what my husband was doing to read aloud to him every two minutes. It's clear that the author cares about helping those with Asperger's Syndrome to enjoy life, and many passages touched my heart and I definitely teared up more than once. This is another one of the best Asperger's books for parents to recognize their child/ren and themselves, to gain understanding, and to feel a little bit better about what they're going through. Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals - At Amazon This book is a very quick read. It's VERY basic, written in VERY basic English. There are basic cartoon drawings included that help illustrate the sections. This is one of the best Asperger's books for kids and young adults because it's a very quick read, which is a great benefit when you want someone to learn about Asperger Syndrome but that someone isn't real keen on reading, or has many demands on their time allowing them less time to devote to reading a book about Asperger's Syndrome. I gave a copy of this book to a 16-year-old boy who lives in the neighborhood who somewhat watches out for our son and the other kids on the street. I had a talk with him before giving him the book and it was interesting to hear about the behaviors that he had already observed in our son.

The other Asperger's books I've picked up I haven't been able to read in full yet (watch for reviews or please do send me yours, on any Asperger's Syndrome books you've read or Asperger's Syndrome products you've tried :) ... Social Skills Picture Book for High School and Beyond  A Parent's Guide to Asperger Syndrome and High-Functioning Autism: How to Meet the Challenges and Help Your Child Thrive Asperger's... What Does It Mean To Me? A workbook explaining self awareness and life lessons to the child or youth with high functioning autism or Asperger's by Catherine Faherty I don't know that I'd say that this is one of the best Asperger's books but only because my son is absolutely completely uninterested in reading much of anything, let alone a "workbook". To him, a "workbook" is the same as school work. Because he compartmentalizes, there is no school work at home (school is for school, and home is NOT for school). So while it may work for you and your children, it's definitely not one of the best Asperger's books for us. Maybe at a future date, but not now, even at 17 years of age he's still not interested in anything that says "workbook".
