In this book you'll learn the truth about Asperger's Syndrome and why it's one of the least understood disorders today. The average person has never even heard of this syndrome. So it probably comes as no surprise that people with Asperger's are often alienated, as they tend to communicate in a way that others can't easily relate to. Some with Asperger's will usually find it difficult to understand normal social cues. They can feel very alone, yet have no clue as to how to express the feelings inside them. They can feel constantly rejected and harassed by those around them and even the ones who love them. You must truly understand this syndrome in order to have a good relationship with a person that has this disorder ... If you know someone with Asperger's your goal should be to learn as much as you can about this disorder. You need to understand why people with this syndrome think and live the way they do. I created this book so you can communicate and learn coping techniques that will create better lives for you and your loved one."--Back cover.

We learn about all the things he loves, including his routine and numbers, as well as his special interest in batteries (he even has a rectangular one!). Greg also tells us about the things that he finds challenging, from a change in his beloved routine to reading facial expressions, and how these things can sometimes leave him upset and overwhelmed. By explaining the way he feels and how best to calm him down when it all gets too much, Greg helps us to understand AS and how it affects the way he views the people and objects around him. With comprehensive sections for parents and professionals on AS and the impact it can have on the family unit and life in the wider community, this charmingly illustrated book helps to increase awareness and understanding of Asperger's syndrome. It will be of interest to families of children with autism spectrum disorders, as well as teachers and other professionals working with children on the autism spectrum.

“An impassioned indictment, one that glows with the heat of a prosecution motivated by an ethical imperative.” —Lisa Appignanesi, New York Review of Books In the first comprehensive history of the links between autism and Nazism, prize-winning historian Edith Sheffer uncovers how a diagnosis common today emerged from the atrocities of the Third Reich. As the Nazi regime slaughtered millions across Europe during World War Two, it sorted people according to race, religion, behavior, and physical condition. Nazi psychiatrists targeted children with different kinds of minds—especially those thought to lack social skills—claiming the Reich had no place for them. Hans Asperger and his colleagues endeavored to mold certain “autistic” children into productive citizens, while transferring others to Spiegelgrund, one of the Reich’s deadliest child killing centers. In this unflinching history, Sheffer exposes Asperger’s complicity in the murderous policies of the Third Reich.
