This book aims to help parents and teachers see the huge potential that exists within children with Asperger Syndrome . In our relentless desire to 'fix' our children we can often lose sight of the BIG picture ; the true objective being the creation of a self-navigating mentally healthy adult . We need to minimise the stress that induces their autistic behaviour . We need to maximise their self-esteem by honing in on their strengths and interests . We need to be nurturing the excellence within and protecting their fragility rather than pretending they can be 'educated' in standard fashion .
