She is also really into the Warrior book series that was mentioned on this thread. How fascinating that kids with Asperger's seem to like a lot of the same things. :)<br />14 hours ago · LikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-49327466341699699522012-03-18T08:50:30.479-07:002012-03-18T08:50:30.479-07:00for my daughter it is Monster High.

Amazingly, I even wrote to the creator of the Mattel series/dolls and told him my daughter has AS and that monster high is her life, and that it's taught her it's ok to be different... and he wrote her a sweet personal message encouraging her art and saying it was really cool to hear how MH has inspired her. I was really touched and I got to be the coolest mom in the world until the next meltdown at least. ;) lol.

This article is great. The paragraph is the key: Social-skills training targeted at teaching specific, often rudimentary social rules and protocols is the other component of treatment.
