The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome
Advise, Support, and Inspiration
by Particia Romanowski bash and Barbara L. Kirby OASIS stands for Online Asperger Syndrom Information and Support. It is owned by the authors and is for parents of children with AS. This is a how-to book for raising children with Asperger Syndrome. Some of the things that the authors feel parnets should know about include; how to get a good IEP or 504 plan, how to get a good diagnosis, comorbid disorders, and what the drugs out there do to kids. It includes information garnered from surveys on the OASIS site, which polls parents of kids with AS, as well as adults (meaning those over 18) with AS. Some things it should include but doesn't are: how AS affects siblings, how parents' own autistic traits affects their parenting, and AS pride. It includes an index.
Informative reading.
