Book for grandparents of AS teen

[Guest guest]

I need to find a book or two to give to my son's grandparents, as an aid when

telling them about his condition. The g-parents can be real worriers and may

also doubt that he really has it. They do not live close, so have not seen him

on a regular basis. They are coming to visit this summer, and I thought this

would help alleviate the tension. When they have seen him before they have

urged him to speak up more, which only causes him to feel anxious. He does much

better in situations where he knows he is accepted 'as he is'.

So far, I've thought about 'Marcelo in the Real World', though it is written for

a teen audience; and 'House Rules' by Jodi Picoult, another fiction book. But,

perhaps a factual, informational book would be better. I just don't want to

hand them something that paints a disturbing, hopeless picture of the syndrome.

Any suggestions out there?

thank you!
