"Utilizing the anime illustrations to capture the attention of teens and tweens, we have developed this book to teach the core concepts related to Michelle Garcia Winner's Social Behavior Mapping (SBM). SBM's teach how our own behaviors, expected and unexpected, impact how others feel about us, ultimately treat us which then affects how we feel about ourselves. The core of the book consists of 10 social scenarios, each one scenario is played out through the lens of Social Fortune or Social Fate by demonstrating visually how a situation can change quickly based on how someone reacts within it. Every scenario begins with a mini-story told through a four pictured comic strip which then leads the protagonist to a decision making point. If the decision made leads to others feeling good and ultimately the character feeling good about him or herself, this will be represented as "social fortune." However, if the protagonist makes a decision that traps him/her and peers/adults in an uncomfortable or frustrating situation, this leads to "social fate." The social fortune and social fate decisions are depicted through unique four-pictured comic strips."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE

I loved this book- the best book about social skills for children/ teens with high functioning autism I have found. Suits ages 9-16. One thing I like is there is no mention of autism in the book so could be used with a young person who doesn't have a formal diagnosis or doesn't know yet about their diagnosis. Uses cartoons to show how social situations play out depending on how we act.
