An A–Z guide to everyday social skills

Organized as short, topic-based lessons from A to Z, this parenting guide addresses social situations that the book identifies as challenging for children and teens with Asperger’s syndrome. Its practical scope ranges from greetings, eye contact, cooperation, and asking for help to reading intentions, responding to teasing or bullying, giving compliments, and avoiding rude behavior. Drawing on Dr. Cynthia La Brie Norall’s clinical experience, the book presents social interaction as a set of concrete skills that can be taught and practiced, with attention to both initiating connections and maintaining friendships.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers of children or teens with Asperger’s syndrome
  • Adults seeking structured guidance on teaching everyday social skills
  • Families navigating teasing, bullying, cooperation, and friendship challenges

Book overview

In Quirky, Yes--Hopeless, No, Dr. Cynthia La Brie Norall and Beth Brust present short lessons, structured around specific topics from A-Z that address the social challenges faced by Asperger's children and teens. Since everyday "people skills" do not come naturally to children with Asperger's, they need training in such simple activities as:

- How to greet others and make eye contact

-How to let go and move on to new tasks

- How to cooperate and ask for help

-How to pay compliments

-How to discern someone's true intentions

- How to handle teasing and bullying

- How not to be rude.

Based on Dr. Norall's twenty years of experience diagnosing and treating thousands with Asperger's, this book will share her insights gained from helping so many friendless Asperger's children become more approachable, less stuck, and finally able to make, and keep, a friend or two.
