About this title

Synopsis

"Asperger Syndrome: An Owner s Manual 2 for Older Adolescents and Adults" is the eagerly anticipated sequel to Asperger Syndrome - "An Owner s Manual" that is primarily written for middle school-age children. Using the same easy-to-follow format, this interactive workbook deals with issues that older adolescents and adults face such as relationships, marriage, independent living, employment, self-care, etc. The author uses the nonagram, a nine-pointed star symbolizing achievement and completeness to visually guide readers through each major section of the book. This much-needed resource is designed to inform and support individuals with AS as they come to grips with their strengths and challenges and plan for a successful adulthood within the neurotypical world.
