Book excerpt: From the author of Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence comes this helpful guide for parents and teachers of children aged three to seven who suffer from Asperger Syndrome. AS is on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum and is purported to have afflicted luminaries like Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein. It is characterized by a lack of social ability, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and fits of rage, along with above-average intelligence and hyper-focus on subjects of interest. This book gives parents and teachers insight into the condition and strategies for managing their childÆs behavior, with the ultimate goal of helping the child gain independence and function successfully in the "real world."

This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive resource for teaching kids with Asperger syndrome the life skills that build independence, confidence, and self-esteem. Children with autism spectrum disorders learn differently. Our kids' choices are too often limited and their paths to success restricted, not by a lack of intellectual ability but by deficits in acquiring, applying, and generalizing basic life skills. Success in school, at home, on the playground, and beyond depends on mastering countless basic living skills that most other kids just "pick up" almost by osmosis. This book shows parents how to teach these so-called easy skills to complex learners. This is the first book for parents and caregivers of kids with Asperger syndrome and similar learning profiles that features strategies based on applied behavior analysis--the most widely accepted, evidence-based, and effective teaching method for learners with ASDs--including how to: -Identify critical skills appropriate for your child's age--how to teach them and why -Implement new techniques that can replace, mimic, prompt, override, or impose missing order on your child's learning style -Design a curriculum for your child that reduces reliance on prompts (including parents) and promotes new learning, new behaviors, and independence

Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2019 Mark Lynton History Prize A groundbreaking exploration of the chilling history behind an increasingly common diagnosis. Hans Asperger, the pioneer of autism and Asperger syndrome in Nazi Vienna, has been celebrated for his compassionate defense of children with disabilities. But in this groundbreaking book, prize-winning historian Edith Sheffer exposes that Asperger was not only involved in the racial policies of Hitler’s Third Reich, he was complicit in the murder of children. As the Nazi regime slaughtered millions across Europe during World War Two, it sorted people according to race, religion, behavior, and physical condition for either treatment or elimination. Nazi psychiatrists targeted children with different kinds of minds—especially those thought to lack social skills—claiming the Reich had no place for them. Asperger and his colleagues endeavored to mold certain "autistic" children into productive citizens, while transferring others they deemed untreatable to Spiegelgrund, one of the Reich’s deadliest child-killing centers. In the first comprehensive history of the links between autism and Nazism, Sheffer uncovers how a diagnosis common today emerged from the atrocities of the Third Reich. With vivid storytelling and wide-ranging research, Asperger’s Children will move readers to rethink how societies assess, label, and treat those diagnosed with disabilities.

Book excerpt: "More than little professors, a compelling collection of stories, poems and artwork by children with Asperger's, runs a high risk of becoming the most dog-eared book on my bookshelf. It is certain to be devoured by my graduate students alnog with the many children and families we serve in the schools and community. I wish this book had existed when I first began supporting children on the autism spectrum to socialize and play with their typical peers and siblings in Intergrated Play groups. It is a privilege to peek into the worlds of these amazing young authors and artists, who share many insights that are both validating and inspirational for my life's work"--Back cover
