the first book is perfect to for children is called [b]Freaks,Geeks and Asperger Syndrome by Lke Jackson[/b]

[b]about the book
[/b]Have you ever been called a freak or a geek? Have you ever felt like one? Luke Jackson is 13 years old and has Asperger Syndrome. Over the years Luke has learned to laugh at such names but there are other aspects of life which are more difficult. Adolescence and the teenage years are a minefield of emotions, transitions and decisions and when a child has Asperger Syndrome, the result is often explosive. Luke writes briefly about his younger autistic and AD/HD brothers, providing amusing insights into the antics of his younger years and advice for parents, carers and teachers of younger AS children. However, his main reason for writing was because "so many books are written about us, but none are written directly to adolescents with Asperger Syndrome. I thought I would write one in the hope that we could all learn together".

the 2nd book give alot of information about the condition it's called [b]Asperger's Syndrome The Essenttial Guide by Hilary Hawkes[/b]

[b]about the book
[/b]If you have Asperger's syndrome (AS) or your child or partner does, life can be challenging, difficult and emotionally draining. Help is at hand. From coming to terms with a diagnosis and receiving specialist counselling to pursuing careers and maintaining long term relationships, this essential guide takes a positive and practical approach to living with Asperger's. Using tried and tested strategies from those who have lived with the condition, you will discover how to develop communication, how to deal with obsessive behaviour and how to get further help and support. Information for those living with a partner suffering from Asperger's is also provided. Chapters are also included for parents whose child has recently been diagnosed with Asperger's, together with advice for teachers and carers. This book won't pretend that living with Asperger's is easy, but it will help you to understand and live positively with the condition

Now both these books are for sale cheap on Amazon if your intrested. i also have links to the books on my site under the page called Books on Aspergers if that helps

i think because it was wrote by a 13 years old most children around that age relate to Luke and his problems and views
