QUIRKY, YES—HOPELESS, NO
Practical Tips to Help Your Child With Asperger's Syndrome Be More Socially Accepted
By Cynthia La Brie Norall, Ph.D., with Beth Wagner Brust
St. Martin’s Press
According to the Centers for Disease Control, one in every 150 American children has some form of autism. It is the fastest-growing developmental disability in the United States, and there is no single definitive treatment or cure.
In QUIRKY, YES—HOPELESS, NO, Dr. Cynthia La Brie Norall presents over 80 social challenges faced by Asperger’s children and teens in a handy, alphabetical order, along with specific, useful suggestions on how to help these kids overcome their social difficulties. 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 things
- How to ask for help and cooperate
- How to pay compliments
- How to discern someone’s true intention
- How to handle teasing and bullying
- How not to be rude
Based on Dr. Norall’s 20 years of experience diagnosing and treating thousands of Asperger’s individuals, this book will share her insights and firsthand knowledge learned from helping so many friendless Asperger’s children become more approachable, less stuck, and finally able to make, and keep, a friend or two.
Beth Wagner Brust, book editor, is an award-winning author of 13 children's books and a graduate of Stanford University. Her teenage son has attended the Friends' Club since fourth grade.

A Message from Cynthia Norall, Ph.D:
Are you on the Autism Hub?
In the world of autism there seems to be two camps. Those who celebrate the individuals that we are lucky enough to work with by translating and facilitating in social settings and those that want to treat with a biomedical model. CASE is definitely in the first camp.
I am proud to have begun posting on some sites within the Autism Hub. There is one specific site I like to blog on. One Dads Opinion webpage at click here to go to Onedadsopinion.com is in line with our beliefs at CASE, Inc.
I have finally found a positive media report about autism and bloggers from the Autism Hub are featured. Please check out the ABC news article from Good Morning America click here to view the article.

Tenderness for what he is,
And respect for what he may become."
