This book offers a fun and accessible introduction for a child diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (AS). Intended as a support tool in the initial period after diagnosis, "A Special Book About Me" is varied and engaging, and addresses questions or concerns that the child might have, such as 'What are the characteristics of AS?', 'Why did it happen to me?', and 'What happens now?'. Also included are poems, stories, illustrations and activities to help them come to terms with and move forward from a diagnosis of AS. "A Special Book About Me" will be essential reading for children in the initial period after a diagnosis of AS.
