The Asperger Social Guide Summary

The Asperger Social Guide: How to Relate to Anyone in any Social Situation as an Adult with Aspergers Syndrome by Genevieve Edmonds

The Asperger Social Guide is a pocket sized travel guide for adults with Aspergers syndrome exploring the social world. Genevieve and Dean have written a practical handbook based on their personal experiences. They know what people with Aspergers syndrome need to know and write in a clear and engaging style. I endorse their explanations, tips and strategies and will be recommending The Asperger Social Guide to my adult clients and those who support them Professor Tony Attwood

`This looks like a book that our social skills groups and some of our schools could use Social skills are a big problem area for people with AS, so quality help is always needed - Cathy Mercer, National Autistic Society

Overall I think that this is a very useful book and you can read the sections as and when you need to - Action for ASD

[R]eaders who have already begun to grasp the basics of social interaction could learn a lot from this book - Asperger United

An excellent self help-text... Not a word is wasted, and as well as being highly recommended for individuals with Aspergers Syndrome, should also be read by education professionals supporting young people with Aspergers Syndrome in schools, colleges and universities - SENCO Update

The imposition of social skills teaching is sometimes seen as stemming from a negative attitude to social difference. Participation in activities might be resented by the AS community and the choice to learn and adopt neuro-typical behaviour should to be offered as an option and in a very respectful way.

This book is a self-help manual written by two AS adults who offer others the benefits of their experiences. It is suitable for private study by AS individuals and can also be used in FE and higher education establishments for support and personal development courses.
