“I really liked this book when I read it a couple (3?) years ago, as told from the viewpoint of a teenage boy with Asperger's Syndrome. Of course all children with Asperger's are different, but this really allowed me to see one view of what worked and what didn't with this boy. It gave me a more personalized view of what a kid like this needs from his teacher and made it less daunting to welcome a boy with AS into my classroom. I think of the teacher in the book a lot and try to emulate her when I'm talking with my student. So far it's working alright and he usually knows he can come to me (just as the boy in the book knew he could go to his teacher for explanations too).
Quick, easy, and enjoyable read if you have an interest in seeing how these kids think and process. ”
