"In Aspertools you will discover everything you need to understand your loved one, student, co-worker, or friend, whose brain might be "a little different." This is the first book to offer simple tools, action plans, and resources to deal with neurodiverse conditions such as Asperger's or any of the other neurological, psychological, or learning disability labels applied to individuals. Also included are tips from ESE teacher Pati Fizzano, and thoughts from Rebecca Reitman. This comprehensive yet easy-to-understand work will give you and your loved ones hope, and the promise of a vibrant, fulfilling life--no matter what the label." --
