Asperger Syndrome

Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything
by Kenneth Hall
(Jessica Kingsley)
If you've ever wondered what goes on in the mind of someone with Asperger Syndrome, you'll love this book because it's written by a 10 year old boy who has Asperger's himself. Kenneth gives a valuable insight into how he feels and the reasons for some of his behaviour. For instance, at one time he shook his head a great deal because he hated his hair touching his forehead so having his hair cut very short removed both the problem and the behaviour. He also describes some of the techniques which have helped him, including Applied Behaviour Analysis, and I found one of his most telling comments was "Kids who are different should not have to do things which are pointless just to be the same as other kids."
