Nurturing Your Asperger’s Child

Posted on January 27th, 2010

Aspergers symptom child Ready for a “Meat and Potatoes” book on raising an Aspergers Child ? No fluff here – just the stuff you really need.

Written by a Christian mom of two Aspergers Children, Phyllis Wheeler really knows – first hand – what works, and what doesn’t work for our kids. She’s been where we are now – from the discovery that our child is different to raising and teaching them through adult hood.

This author isn’t a Dr telling us what “we should be doing”. Nor is she just beginning out on the journey with an Aspergers Child. She’s been there and done that! She’s got Experience and experience is the BEST teacher. She shares real examples with real solutions – what a breath of fresh air!

This book gives you the nuts and bolts of HOW to work with your child. From using a Rubber Chicken (communication skills) to implementing a truly workable point system that will create structure and actually mean something to your Aspie – this book is one of those irreplaceable books.

I first bought this book years and years ago, read through it and then let my hubby read it. This book made the difference. It gave my husband insight to what it meant to be an Aspie, how Aspie’s react to their environment and gave us both hope that we could do this: we could parent a very special child called an Aspergers Child.

Just last month, someone asked me something about an Aspie child, and I dug out my book, once again, and found the answer. It’s not just a good read, it’s a great resource book. You’ll want this book on the “easy access” book shelf, cause you’ll be going back to it often.

You can visit my home on the web for more info on getting your hands on this book – it’s a must have for any Aspie Parent! http://home.maggiemccormick.com/index.html (3rd block down on the right hand side)
