Any suggestions for helpful materials for AS daughter?

[Guest guest]

Hi! First, thank you to everyone who posts here. It helps!

I have an 8-year-old daughter in third grade who is getting depressed about her

situations regarding friendships, school work, mean kids, her teacher, etc. She

has an IEP. Last year went better than this year...she cries so much this year

and now is feeling like hurting these kids back, which would only make things

worse.

I read that someone with an AS child recommended " You Are a Social Detective " by

Winner, and " Mapping Social Behaviors " , for use by others with

AS children. Has anyone tried these books? Do you have anything you have used

that you would recommend? There are so many books out there...I have no idea

which ones would be most helpful in

teaching/counseling/reinforcing/empowering/and helping her feel better about

herself and her situations.

Thank you for your suggestions! Take care! --Kari
