Can anyone recommend a non fiction or fiction book for a teen with Asperger's that presents an upbeat or positive view of aspergers? The few books on this subject that I have seen are (a) aimed at either younger children or parents or (b) have sections that are depressing. Thanks.

Sorry about the late post.
My son really enjoyed the fiction book Baj and the Word Launcher. It is actually a series by a UK author that presents a really good message.
I will get my collegue in arms to send you additional titles as she is a teacher librarian and reads alot more fiction than I do.
I will post non-fiction as soon as I get a list together for you.

Of possible interest on this topic is a forthcoming book (I haven't seen it - just ran across the title). It could be kind of sappy but lets hope its inspiring.
Appreciating Asperger Syndrome: Looking at the Upside - With 300 Positive Points
by Brenda Boyd
When my Aspie daughter was little she used the term 'Asperger Advantage' a few times - the first time being after an experience with playing dodgeball (not sure what this game is called outside the U.S.) and she was great at it as she could never catch a ball or accurately throw a ball, dodging a ball was natural, instinctive and a skill. I'm an Aspie adult and hope this book I'm mentioning isn't awful - I shudder at the thought of it being something like that poem about giving birth to a special needs child - I thought it was an awful poem and a lot of people sent it to me and I could not understand why that was helpful. But, I never could understand why people also said things like " G*d wouldn't have given you this special needs child if you couldn't handle it." I see no sense in this kind of statement.
If the 2 or 3 of you who see this read the above-referenced book let us know how it is, please.
