Introduces children to the world of their peers who display the confusing behaviors of Asperger Syndrome.
A 2002 study from Comprehensive Issues in Pediatric Nursing found that 94 percent of students with Asperger Syndrome face torment from their peers. Indeed, some of their behaviors and characteristics that others see as "different" make many of these children easy targets for frequent and severe bullying. This book takes a frank look at the different types of bullying and what adults must do to curb bullying, helping prevent the often lifelong effects of this behavior on its victims. Practical strategies and solutions at the school, class and individual level are presented.
Offers advice and suggestions for acceptable social skills for individuals with social-cognitive problems.

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
