About this title

Synopsis

The Mom’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome and Related Disorders is written primarily for parents of children who have newly been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. It is especially a great resource for the preschool through elementary school years. The book draws from the author’s personal experience both as the mom of a son with Asperger Syndrome and her study of and work with children and adolescents with special needs. The result is a practical guide, written for other Aspie parents in a clear, concise, and sometimes humorous tone. This user-friendly book leaves no stone unturned, as it explains, in a friendly, familiar voice, situations and issues that all parents with an AS child will encounter at one point or another. Above all else, the book arms parents with basic, sound information empowering them to seek out the very best services and programs for their child.From dealing with sensory issues and bullying to staying on top of homework, The Mom’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome and Related Disorders offers easy-to-use suggestions. The Mom’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome and related disorders should be used as a practical, valuable reference throughout the years.

About the Author

As a single mother of a teenaged son with Asperger Syndrome and a rambunctious four-year-old daughter, Jan Johnston-Tyler brings a joyful but no-nonsense approach to her professional and personal life, and believes that the only true barriers are often self- or socially imposed. Currently completing her master’s in counseling psychology (her third career in as many decades), Ms. Johnston-Tyler works part time with high school students in career assessment, and hopes to continue to write about her experiences, both as a mother of an Asperger teen and working with high-risk and special needs youth in career development.
