This book uncovers the puzzling behaviour by children and youths with Asperger Syndrome (AS) that have a sensory base and, therefore, are often difficult to pinpoint and interpret. Written in a very reader-friendly style, the book covers the impact of the sensory system on behaviour, reviews formal and informal assessment tools and offers an invaluable set of practical interventions that can be used by parents and educators alike to help promote success for children and youths with AS. The "sensory gang" - a set of clever icons used throughout the book- helps the reader navigate between the senses.

Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence is an excellent book that fills a long-standing and sorely felt need. The subtitle, "practical solutions for school success", tells the story and guarantees that this book will be eagerly sought and frequently consulted. An outstanding achievement.'
- Bernard Rimland, Director, Autism Research Institute, USA
'In Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence, Myles and Adreon have presented us with an excellent overview of the challenges that many learners with AS face as they enter their teens. But perhaps most important, they offer an array of practical, proven interventions to help address these challenges. This is a welcome addition to the literature.'
- Peter Gerhardt, Research Assistant Professor and Division Director, Rutgers University
'A stunningly accurate portrayal of the challenges adolescents with Asperger Syndrome face in school. Of at least equal importance, this "must have" resource is jam-packed with sensible and easy-to-implement solutions for teachers, aides, parents and others who will ultimately give these emerging adults the tools they need to navigate through the turbulent middle and high school years and beyond.'
- Stephen M. Shore, author of Beyond the Wall: Personal Experience with Autism and Asperger Syndrome
'Finally, a book about older students with Asperger Syndrome and one that moves beyond describing this complex syndrome ... It is a book that educators and parents will refer to again and again as they help students with AS navigate the complex demands of the adolescent experience'
- Michael Alessandri, Director, University of Miami Center for Autism and Related Disabilities
'This book addresses one of the most burning issues in working with adolescents with Asperger Syndrome: All the supports and strategies that must be in place to help them survive the middle and high school years. As such it is a "must read" for parents and educators alike. Among the supports and strategies discussed, the section on stabilization was particularly helpful. The use of authentic voices in the last chapter validates the message of this important book.'
- Elisa Gagnon, author of This Is Asperger Syndrome
The middle school years, pose challenges for all young people. In this comprehensive and thorough book, the authors start with an overview of those characteristics of AS that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. Central to the book is a detailed discussion of strategies and supports necessary to ensure a successful school experience for students with AS at the middle and secondary levels.
What sets this book apart is the way it ties all the recommended strategies together in a real-life case study of Michael, a youth with AS. This touch of real life continues in the closing chapter, which consists of statements by parents and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome about the transition years. This book is critical reading for everybody who lives or works with an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome.

Written for parents and professionals, Asperger Syndrome and Difficult Moments offers practical solutions to the day-to-day challenges facing individuals with Asperger Syndrome and their families. The book discusses clearly and concisely how to deal with tantrums, meltdowns and difficult behaviour from children and young people with Asperger Syndrome, looking in particular at the role of antecedent behaviours, which signal the beginning of a meltdown, as identified through functional assessment. Topics covered include:
* the characteristics of Asperger Syndrome and their impact on behaviour
* stages of the meltdown cycle
* the role of antecedent behaviours
* functional assessment
* strategies promoting social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management
* solutions for parents, including organization and support, and daily routines.
The book's main focus is on the various stages of the meltdown cycle and functional analysis as a means of determining why behaviours occur. This is followed by a set of practical strategies that promote social skills development, including self-awareness, self-calming and self-management. The book concludes with a chapter written specifically for parents, which offers concrete and easy-to-follow steps for developing a home plan that addresses agreement on the causes of problem behaviours, family organization and support, the LASTING word and designing a daily routine. Accompanying the clear and user-friendly writing style are a number of helpful reporting forms and other instruments that may be used by schools and parents as they work to reduce or eliminate such behaviour in children and young people with Asperger Syndrome.

Powerful and motivating, this story inspires you to do whatever you can to live the life you want- no matter what others expect or think. Told from the unique separate viewpoints of a young man with high-functioning autism (David), and his mother (Sandy), you will be pulled into this story and filled with admiration and respect for both individuals. Reading from Sandy's perspective- the love, determination, pain, protectiveness, and anticipation can be felt through the pages as you are transported along with her as she watches David grow up. Sandy perhaps gives her son the best gift that a parent can give- her belief in him and his ability to succeed. Nothing deters Sandy from her mission: to provide David with whatever he needs to have a fulfilling life, the same thing every parent wants for their own child. She does everything in her power to help David fly alone- and fly he does! David's perspective brings us into the heart of his deepest feelings: fears about fitting in, becoming his own person, and growing up and embracing the important things in life. Extremely relatable, his voice feels like a familiar companion to your own innermost thoughts and sentiments. David will struggle, fail, and try again as many times as it takes for him to accomplish his dreams. David's openness about his failures is humbling. His perseverance is inspirational. And his easy-going and forgiving personality will encourage the understanding and acceptance of others' differences. An amazing person, it's impossible not to connect with and root for David as you follow him along his journeys through life. Filled with important tips and lessons learned, this book guides the reader through every challenge and solution found along the way.

Employers and coworkers will likewise appreciate this guiding information and compelling story.
