Book suggestions to help explain Aspergers to a 10 year old girl

Ashtreejo

Hello everyone. My 10 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with high functioning Aspergers and I am looking for a book to help explain it to her. However all the ones I can find seem to be based on boys (e.g. 'all cats have aspergers' ), for teenagers, or written by Americans so the school information is different. Can anyone recommend a good book to read with her? Thanks very much.

  • "Martian in the Playground - understanding the schoolchild with Asperger's syndrome" by Clare Sainsbury  (Lucky Duck Publishing 2000  the ISBN  is 1 873 942 08 7, which will help a bookshop or library track it down). Although 15 years old now, the insight drawn from many children's experiences could well fit your requirements. It is an easy read for parents and for children.
