Tried-and-trusted ideas to help teens with Asperger's tackle difficulties and thrive.
Francis Musgrave is the author of The Asperger Children's Toolkit. He founded AS Active, a social enterprise supporting families of children with autism and Asperger Syndrome.
I personally love the fact that the toolkit covers so many really
up to date and relevant areas ... The Asperger Teen's Toolkit will
most certainly help so many young people navigate the complexities
of adolescence and will also benefit parents, carers and teaching
staff.
*Dr Christopher Morrell DclinPsy, MSc, BSc, AFBPsS, Chartered
Clinical Psychologist*
At last, accessible and helpful advice specifically for teens (not
only those with Asperger's, but other neurodevelopmental
difficulties as well). Assisting communication, it is a tool that
could strengthen relationships within families as it gives a clear
framework for whole family involvement, [with] well organised,
practical, easy-to-implement strategies. A great resource not only
for young people, but also parents/carers and professionals
alike.
*Sue Jinks, Paediatric occupational therapist specialising in
neurodevelopmental difficulties and autism*
A truly inspiring and reassuring book ... Francis has provided an
honest but thoughtful approach to tackling the ever adapting path
through teenage years into young adulthood. It's the perfect book
for not only ASD teens but also for parents wanting to lovingly
guide them on this journey.
*Kristian Clarke, qualified youth worker and mother of two
beautiful daughters with ASD, ADHD and OCD*
Written in teen-savvy language and with a focus on empowering the
individual, with explanatory illustrations and stand-alone sections
on sexuality, power in relationships, gender, gaming and social
media, this is an invaluable up-to-the-minute resource for any teen
with Asperger's syndrome.
*Kate E. Reynolds, autism mother and trainer, and author of
Sexuality and Severe Autism, the Sexuality and Safety with Tom and
Ellie series, and What to Do about Smearing.*
