Through brief vignettes such as this, accompanied by black and white cartoon-like drawings, This Is Asperger Syndrome introduces siblings, peers and other children to the everyday challenges faced by children with Asperger Syndrome at home or at school. Written for children ages 6-12, the book may be read independently by older children and serves as an excellent springboard for further discussion led by parents and teachers. A special section, 'Notes on Asperger Syndrome', at the end of the book summarizes the major characteristics of Asperger Syndrome.
