Smith Myles, B., Adreon, D., Gitlitz, D.
Children and youth with Asperger Syndrome, high

often their abilities are not realized. "Simple Strategies
That Work!" provides ideas and suggestions that
teachers can use to help a student with AS/HFA on the

jargon, the book includes tables and boxes for quick
reference and clear meaning.
Social Fortune or Social Fate
Crooke, P., Garcia Winner, M.
The core of the book consists of 10 social scenarios, each
one scenario is played out through the lens of Social
Fortune or Social Fate by demonstrating visually how a
situation can change quickly based on how someone
reacts within it. Every scenario begins with a mini
told through a four pictured comic strip which then leads
the protagonist to a decision making point. If the
decision made leads to others feeling good and
ultimately the character feeling good about him or
herself, this will be represented as “social fortune.”
However, if the protagonist makes a decision that traps
him/her and peers/adults in an uncomfortable or
frustrating situation, this leads to “social fate.” The social
fortune and social fate decisions are depicted through
unique four-pictured comic strips.

Social Skills for Teenagers With Developmental
and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Laugeson, E.A., Frankel, F.
This book is essential reading for any clinician or
researcher working with teens with autism spectrum
disorders. This parent-assisted intervention for teens is

and Human Behavior, the manualization of the popular
UCLA PEERS Program, and the success of the
Friendship Training (Routledge, 2002) manual for children.
After reviewing techniques designed to help parents
and therapists tailor the manual to the needs of the
teens with whom they are working, the text moves on
to the individual treatment sessions and strategies for
tackling issues such as developing conversational skills,
choosing friends, using humor, get-togethers, teasing,

people are thinking during these interactions (not always
