Autism and Asperger Books

I recently went to a seminar to learn more about how to make children with autism or Asperger's syndrome more comfortable in the library.  I learned much and was able to purchase some books that should be a help to us all.  The following have now been added to our collection:

Ten Things Every Child With Autism Wishes You Knew by Ellen Notbohm
Everybody is Different: a book for young people who have borthers or sisters with autism by Fiona Bleach
All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome by Kathy Hoopmann
Angry Octopus: a relaxation story by Lori Lite
Super Silly Sayings that are Over Your Head: a children's illustrated book of idioms by Catherine S. Snodgrass
Understanding Sam and Asperger Syndrome by Clarabell van Niekerk and Liezl Venter
and coming soon - Pretending to be Normal: living with Asperger's Syndrome by Liane Holliday Willey

Hopefully these books will help any one get a better understanding of these Pervasive Developmental Disorders and the people who have them.
