The Gifts of Asperger
FOCUS: The Gifts of Asperger focuses on the strengths, assets, resourceful nature, talents, special qualities, abilities, aptitudes, potential, and promise of persons with AS and HFA. Through personal accounts and real-life stories shared by persons with AS or HFA, their families or caretakers, close friends or relatives, teachers, therapists or employers, the book illustrates the many ways in which persons with AS and HFA are, have always been, and always will be, invaluable citizens in our world of neurodiversity.
A.S.P.E.R. -- Tone: The sound that resonates throughout this book is "A.S.P.E.R.-Tone"--AFFIRMATION, STRENGTH, POSITIVITY, EMPOWERMENT, and RESPECT. Filled with beaming encouragement, the uplifting and often touching narratives found in every page of this collection strive to raise awareness, give hope, and build confidence with regard to the gifts, rather than the challenges and deficits, of persons with AS and HFA.
GOAL: The goal of The Gifts of Asperger is to illustrate how, when provided with nurturing, supportive environments, persons with AS and HFA can optimize their potentials, live happy and productive lives, and make significant contributions to their families and communities while enriching our world and collective consciousness.

My Kitty Catsberger
|
Ever wonder which pets are the Aspies of the animal kingdom? Why, the cool ones of course!
My Kitty Catsberger is a colorful, rhyming, illustrated story that depicts how cats, much like Aspies, are cool, sensory enhanced, ultra-focused, sharp as tacks, highly specialized, self-motivated, and creatively playful beings who march to the tune of “I’ll Do it My Way!” My Kitty Catsberger is designed to teach children (of ALL ages) how “being an Aspie” is, indeed, a “cool-as-cats” opportunity in our world of Neuro-Diversity. Richly illustrated and vividly brought to life by Disney artist Don McGrath the book offers a creative insight into the wonderful similarities between the delightful quirks and eccentricities that are often shared by felines and their fellow human co |
