Re: Looking for books/publications

[Guest guest]

I just read a book called " Elijah's Cup " about one family's journey into AS and

HFA. Sorry, I don't remember the author's name. I got it from our library. It

described everything as Elijah faced it, in everyday language, with only a few

professional explanations. I recommended it to my family because I saw alot of

my son in it.

Hi I like the Mass General's Hospital web page on Asperger

Syndrome. Tell me if you like it. Lots of good info.

Oh and there is a lot more on that page about As and interventions too so look

around the site. It is so concise.

They all go into great detail on the classic symptoms with little blurbs about

how some people will be milder than others. They will not see my son in the

descriptions, etc.

This is a great resource. You can purchase a bound copy or print your own (there are lots of pages). I bought a copy and gave it to my son's IEP team when he entered the 9th grade. They found it very helpful. Pam

I had great results with _a Parent's Guide to Asperger Syndrome

and high Functioning Autism_. My mom apologized to me after

reading it.
