[senco-forum] Asperger's Syndrome

Hi Mary!!! me again -- the Autistic Associaition used to do a leaflet explaining ASD. On Ebay currently there are a couple of US books on Aspergers (for a fiver). And loads of books under the Autism title. Some are parents guides.

Does anybody know of a very short, easy-to-read pamphlet that might  encourage some parents to explore the idea that their child has AS, and not  dodge or avoid the realisation please? I think these parents know it really,  but are afraid that to formalise it will stigmatise the boy or damage him in  some unknown way. That sounds vague, I know, but it's because the parents  are not speaking freely to us. They are wary of something, but I'm not sure  what it is.    Any suggestions?    Thanks,  Mary
