'There are hundreds of books available on how to help a child with Aspergerʼs - autism spectrum disorder- but little has been written on how to help other children understand what Aspergerʼs actually means.

'This innovative childrenʼs book has been written especially for junior school students (Prep - Grade 2) in simple language describing and explaining why their friend with Aspergerʼs behaves the way they do.

'The aim of this big book is to educate the children in the classroom about Aspergerʼs syndrome. The specific goals for the children are to: understand what Aspergerʼs Syndrome means and how it affects them, accept and then celebrate differences in each other, be a friend and support the child with Aspergerʼs.'
