About The Asperkid's (Secret) Book Of Social Rules: The

Product Description Being a teen or tween isn't easy for anyone -- but it's especially tough for Asperkids. I know. I was one, I taught a whole bunch, and I am going to be raising three! That's also why I know that Asperkdis deserve their very own guide to all of the hidden social rules that are awfully confusing to us, even if they seem obvious to everyone else. "The Asperkids' (Secret) Rule Book of Social Rules." This isn't your momma's Emily Post, and there is no "don't do this" finger-wagging or patronizing "high and mighty preaching" here. Instead, the "Secret" Book gives Asperkids (aged 10-17) respectful, funny insights written "for Aspies by an Aspie." Chock full of illustrations, logic and even a practice session or six (in comic strip style, thank you very much!), this is the handbook every adult Aspie wishes we'd had growing up, but never did.

Jennifer is brilliant AND she "gets it." That means everything.--Kelly (MOM) A-HA! Hope in a Book As the illustrator of this book, I love the illustrations! Kidding. My favorite part of "The Asperkid's (Secret) Book of Social Rules" is the "Ah... I see" or "Ah-ha!" moments I had as I read and grasped each concept. Jennifer has a special gift in communicating through stories that all of us (both on and off the spectrum) can easily relate to and take something away from. (And I love the illustrations.) :) -Brian Bojanowski Book Description Top secret guide to the hidden social rules of making friends and conversation, for teens and tweens From the Author Written by an Aspie (and mom of three!),  The Asperkid's (Secret) Book of Social Rules: The Handbook of Not-So-Obvious Social Guidelines  is a comics-infused explanation of the world's hidden social rules. Our kids are amazing -- and they deserve to know the rules everyone else plays by! So -- here they are. Every single 'hidden' or 'secret' rule I wish someone had told me when I was younger -- something I teach my own Asperkids and which I'm proud to pass along -- even if it means sharing my most less-than-fabulous moments with the whole world. The kids are, quite simply, worth everything I've got to give." From the Inside Flap Being a teen or tween isn't easy for anyone but it can be especially tough for Asperkids.

The Asperkid's (Secret) Book of Social Rules offers witty and wise insights into baffling social codes such as making and keeping friends, blending in versus standing out from the crowd, and common conversation pitfalls.
