Autism Talks and Talks

School Daze #3.5

by Sharon A. Mitchell

Karen is a grade 6 student who has Asperger’s Syndrome. She is bright, vivacious and highly verbal. Too verbal. She finds certain topics fascinating, and is all too willing to share her knowledge with others. She goes on and on and on, not realizing that she is alienating the other kids with her endless monologues.
Karen remains on the fringe, looking at other adolescents having fun together and wondering if she could ever be a part of the group. Her protective mom tries to shield her from the world, limiting her contact with peers in case she might be bullied.
Is this all there is for Karen? Come join us and see.

Autism is a scary thing, but the way this series is written explains so very much in an interesting and understandable way. And an HEA is always good!

Asberger’s Syndrome

This book is an interesting perspective into family life with a child on the Autism Spectrum- the good, the bad, and the ugly. How many parents react by over-protection while the experts show ways to guide the child to adaptation and life in the real world. Very enjoyable read with well developed characters and great story.

Know Is Power

This book is a great ideal, it is absolutely informative. I don't have kids with Autism, however, I three families who does, not all are the same, which is the same with other kids. I do understand Autism a little better.
Thanks Dr. Mitchell.

Awrsome

Another great book from the autism series. This book gives you an idea of another type of autism. High functioning autism is not the same as what people think, autism is.

Another great book by Sharon Mitchell. This book deals with more about autism that I am familiar with. I loved the way the store told of not only the child's view but also the parents.
