- W128419790 abstract "“Adam’s Alternative Sports Day: An Asperger Story” was written by a mother of a child with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) who was trained as a child psychologist specializing in autism and who has made a living as a free-lance writer. This combination of training, skills and personal history gave the book a realistic quality that could appeal to children. The use of a plotline in the form of a contest (arranged by a teacher sympathetic to the knowledge that children with AS had difficulties with the social and athletic requirements of the usual sport’s days at school), a competition in which a child with AS had a chance. A bit of suspense at the end of each chapter and the use of two alternate endings meant this book had the best ‘interest’ quality of the six. The features of AS are woven into the storyline, the dialogue and the narrator’s comments. As a result, the child with AS may or may not recognize the commonalities, and may miss them if they are not pointed out by a sympathic resource person, such as the parent. On the other hand, the child is more likely to read the book through for the story. This book illustrated the compromise a children’s author has to consider, how to maintain interest and provide information. The strength of the book is the story and the supportive way AS was treated throughout. AS was simply accepted and, although difficult for the child, was not the main point of the story. It is not the sort of book to introduce a child to AS; but for the child with AS and some awareness already, it would provide a story and plot that they could identify with, somewhat similar to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night serves for older children and adults. One last point to note is that the book assumes some familiarity with the Mind Reading CD developed out of the work of Professor Simon Baron-Cohen at Cambridge. It is an excellent resource on its own and deserves a totally separate review." @default.
