Product Overview

In Quirky, YesHopeless, No, Dr. Cynthia La Brie Norall and Beth Brust present short lessons, structured around specific topics from A-Z that address the social challenges faced by Asperger's children and teens. Since everyday people skills do not come naturally to children with Asperger's, they need training in such simple activities as:

How to greet others and make eye contact

How to let go and move on to new tasks

How to cooperate and ask for help

How to pay compliments

How to discern someone's true intentions

How to handle teasing and bullying

How not to be rude.

Based on Dr. Norall's twenty years of experience diagnosing and treating thousands with Asperger's, this book will share her insights gained from helping so many friendless Asperger's children become more approachable, less stuck, and finally able to make, and keep, a friend or two.
