In this comprehensive and user-friendly book, the author translates years of experience working with students with Asperger Syndrome and social-communication difficulties. The essence of this must-have resource: 70 of the skills that most commonly cause difficulty for individuals with autism spectrum disorders and social-communication problems. The  presentation of each skill consists of a reproducible skill handout, as well as activity sheets listing ways teachers and parents can demonstrate, practice, and reinforce the skill in the classroom and at home.

This book offers practical suggestions and advice for how to teach and learn those subtle messages that most people pick up almost automatically but that have to be directly taught to individuals with social-cognitive challenges, including those on the autism spectrum. Given the serious consequences that can befall a person who violates a social rule, the strategies and detailed lists of curriculum items make this a much-needed resource.

distinguish between popularity as likeability and popularity as dominance; how to respect your child’s social style, particularly if it differs
from your own; how to help an angry child be less aggressive; how to increase a child’s social ability; how to know when not to intervene
in your child’s social life, among other matters of friendship.
