Making Sense of Asperger's: A story for children grew out of just such an experience for one seven-year-old boy. This extremely bright child was frequently in serious trouble at school but couldn't understand why. His mother was struggling to explain that he had been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in a positive way so asked the author, her son's psychologist, for guidance. This book is the end result of this mother's request for help. Elaborating on a previously developed analogy of Asperger's syndrome with a computer's operating system, this workbook, with simple text and entertaining illustrations, sets out to offer an explanation of Asperger's as one possibility within the range of differences between all people. In a world where most people come equipped with a standard operating system, it seeks to explain in a validating and fun way exactly what an Asperger's syndrome operating system is, how it works, the compatibility issues which can arise and, most importantly, how to live with one, crashes and all.
