Freaks, Geeks and Asperger Syndrome

by Luke Jackson

published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers

This is a great book written by a teenager for teenagers. Luke is an excellent writer and writes in a way that other teenagers can relate to. It covers many aspects that concern adolescents including whether to tell other people, how to cope with school and bullying and dating.

Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything

by Kenneth Hall

published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Kenneth Hall is a 10 year old boy with Asperger Syndrome. He describes his life and his opinions. It is a lovely book, obviously written by a child, but at the same time it explains how he feels about the world around him and is easy and fun to read.

An excellent book for schools, and families who know a child with autism is: Since We're Friends by Celeste Shally

Helps other kids understand kids with autism better.

She is about to publish another book called The Bully Blockers which will be helpful to families of kids with autism.

There are a number of really good novels for children and teens about coping with Asperger's or Asperger's-like symptoms:

MARCELO IN THE REAL WORLD

EMMA JEAN LAZARUS FELL OUT OF A TREE

ANYTHING BUT TYPICAL

THE VERY ORDERED EXISTENCE OF MERILEE MARVELOUS

MOCKINGBIRD (this is mine, but it's getting excellent reviews so I've included it in the list)

Great idea to put these lists together!
