The Asperkid's (Secret) Book of Social Rules, 10th Anniversary Edition

The Guide to Understanding Not-So-Obvious Neurotypical Social Norms for Autistic Tweens and Teens

Jessica Kingsley Publishers

Being a teen or tween is tough for anyone. And if you're on the Autism Spectrum, life can feel like a game you're playing without knowing the rules. Jennifer Cook knows - she's been there! Her internationally bestselling handbook is the key to unlocking those unwritten, often confusing, not-so-obvious social guidelines and bolstering confidence, all at once.
 
Finally, teens can play the game of life with instructions. The 10th Anniversary Edition of The (Secret) Book of Social Rules reveals the essential secrets behind the baffling social codes surrounding making and keeping friends, dating, and catastrophic conversation pitfalls. It's no wonder Jennifer's is the navigation tool tens of thousands of fans have come to love! Chock full of funny illustrations, take-it-from-me explanations, and comic strip examples, this Book of the Year award winner is real, positive, and speaks from the heart (without ever sounding like your mother's guide to manners). It's confidence, humor, and smarts. For the Human Spectrum.
