Asperkids is about living on the “awesome” side of Asperger Syndrome…about unlocking the precious, precocious potential of Asperkids through respectful teaching, parenting and FUN. Jennifer takes tough stuff and makes it understandable (even FUN!) — theory of mind, the necessity for concrete forms of communication, and ways to inspire imagination through sensorial experiences. In particular she explores the untapped power of special interests, explaining how to harness these interests to encourage academic, social and emotional growth.

This isn’t your momma’s Emily Post, and there is no “don’t do this” finger-wagging or patronizing “high and mighty preaching” here. Instead, the “Secret” Book gives Aspies of ALL ages respectful, funny insights written “for us by one of us.” Chock full of illustrations, logic, and even a practice session or six (in comic strip style, thank you very much!), this is the handbook every adult Aspie wishes we’d had growing up, but never did.

This book really has nothing to do with coloring. Or at least, not primarily. It’s actually a sneaky way of proving to kids who sometimes feel that in fact, they’re anything but. Gathering the artistic talents of Asperkids and artists from around the world, as well as her own original artwork, Jennifer O’Toole has created a one-of-a-kind coloring book that’s educational, fun and above all a celebration of difference.
