For some youngsters the world is a strange and unfathomable place where people don't say what they mean or mean what they say; where the rules change depending on who you are with; and where you are never allowed just to be yourself. Welcome to Planet Asperger, located in a parallel universe where everything seems the same as earth, but nothing actually is.
Author and international trainer Ronnie Young explains what Asperger's syndrome is and offers a range of helpful strategies for overcoming the challenges it poses in the classroom.
The book covers:
- social impairment
- obsessive interests
- repetition and change
- verbal and non-verbal communication
- anger
- sensory problems
- study skills and exams
- considers whole school implications.
Once you understand how the Asperger mind works, it's not so difficult to adapt to accommodate it.
