I am special [electronic resource] : a workbook to help children, teens and adults with autism spectrum disorders to understand their diagnosis, gain confidence and thrive / Peter Vermeulen ; translated by Beth Junor.
Edition: 2nd ed. - https://ihc.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ihcorg/detail.action?docID=1249369
- "I am Special is a workbook developed by Peter Vermeulen and already used extensively with young people with autism spectrum disorder. The workbook is designed for a child to work through with an adult - parent, teacher or other professional. Unlike other books, its content and layout are devised especially for children who read, think and process information differently.
I am Special is divided into two parts. The first is a theoretical introduction that explains how to inform children that they have autism or Asperger Syndrome and how to use the worksheets with groups or individuals. The second part consists of a series of worksheets which the child works through with an adult to create a unique and personal book about him or herself. It includes a series of exercises that present autism positively. They strike a balance between general facts, information about autism and personal information, covering the strengths an autistic person may have as well as the difficulties they may face.
I am Special can be used with young people over the age of ten years. Not only is it an excellent source of information for the autistic child; it can be the first step in a process of counselling or psychotherapy or the springboard for a discussion group on autism."

She's lost her job at Surf Shack after an incident that clearly was not her fault, and now she's not on track to have saved enough money.

But now that she's writing letters to him, some things are beginning to make sense.Kay Kerr's Please Don't Hug Me depicts life on the cusp of adulthood and on the autism spectrum and the complexities of finding out and accepting who you are and what's important to you.

Social behavior and self-management : 5-point scales for adolescents and adults - "Building on the success of the legendary Incredible 5-Point Scale by Buron and Curtis, this book also uses scales as a way of explaining social and emotional concepts to individuals who have difficulty understanding such information but have a relative strength in understanding systems. The 5-point scales can be used to increase communication between the person on the spectrum and their support person. It can increase self-management skills and, once learned, it can serve as an excellent self-advocacy tool. As such, it is invaluable at school, on the job and in the community." - PUBLISHERS WEBSITE
