Guest guest Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Let me try this again. I posted a response earlier today but it hasn't shown up yet and I don't know if it's a glitch with or a matter of unpending the post since I'm new, so I figured I'd retry.... From what I've read so far, I like " The O.A.S.I.S. Guide to Asperger Syndrome " , and " Asperger Syndrome and the Elementary School Experience: Practical Solutions for Academic & Social Difficulties " . I just received a 2nd copy of the latter today, which I intend to give to my son's school on Monday. I also posted a question this morning that I really needed an answer to today, but it hasn't shown up yet either. So, hopefully this doesn't wind up being a duplicate reply. Debbie (in NJ) CJ (8) - awaiting official Asperger's dx. Also has Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EE) - Reacts to most food so he's G-tube fed a special elemental formula w/ no intact proteins. Currently wrapping up home visits from a mobile therapist (a psychologist who is wonderful, but admittedly has no experience with Asperger's) and a behavioral assistant through the NJ Child Behavioral Health Program. (4) - currently healthy (had prior GI problems that seem to have resolved), and seems to be " normal " in that she doesn't have symptoms of any PDD. She's also very intelligent. She does have some problems attending, and is definitely affected by her brother's behavior. She does seem to model his behavior at times as well, because he is her big brother after all.
