"The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. "
~James Bryce
I have been asked to discuss a few of the books I have read over the years that may be useful for anyone who has a child or is working with children on the Autism Spectrum. Like many of you, I have read quite a few. There is no doubt in my mind that some of the titles will be familiar and please remember this Blog is about sharing the knowledge. So if anyone has heard of, or has read anything that they feel would be of benefit to another family, then rise-up and pass on those details. I will be more than happy to post.
The first place I feel that I need to start, is of course, anything written by
Professor Tony Attwood.
1. The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome ISBN - 978-1-84310-669-2 (P/back Edition)
2. Asperger's Syndrome: A guide for Parents and Professionals ISBN: 1853025771
3. The Asperger's Diagnostic Assessment (DVD) ISBN : 1-932565-17-5
Other Books that I would highly recommend are;
1. Asperger Huh? A child’s perspective.
by Rosina G. Schnurr ISBN-10: 0968447309
2. Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome: A user guide to adolescence.
by Luke Jackson ISBN: 9781843100980
3. Ten Things Your Student With Autism Wishes You Knew.
by Ellen Notbohm ISBN: 9781932565362
4. 1001 Great Ideas For Teaching And Raising Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders.
by Notbohm and Zysk ISBN: 9781932565195
5. Practical Sensory Programmes for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other
Special Needs. by Sue Larkey ISBN:1843104792
Please remember.... buying isn't the only option here. Go to your local library. Share between family groups or even visit your school's learning support centre. Autism Queensland and Book in Hand have books to purchase or ABIQ at Strathpine and Asperger Services Australia at Zillmere have resources for members to borrow. Another Library borrowing centre for children with Special Needs is, Noah's Ark at East Brisbane. You do have to be a member and the 12 month member does cost, but, the resources are amazing. I also use an Australian website called Fishpond. They also have great deals on books.
