Testimonials

As a parent of a child with Autism Spectrum Disorder, I found Unwritten rules very informative and very helpful. It helped to help bridge the gap between the thinking of an individual with ASD and those identified as neurotypicals.

Sharon, CA

I just finished reading Unwritten Rules for social relationships. I have to tell you that it is the best book on understanding social relationships and Autism/Asperger's, that I have ever read.

Rosie, FL

I recently purchased no more meltdowns and it was a breath of fresh air to see how understanding Jed Baker is to parents.  I usually get nasty looks in the community like I'm a bad mother, but this book is understanding and offers a lot of good solutions.  If you stick to it, you will see results.

LEARN HOW TO FIT IN.  This book won the IParenting Media Award. We've never seen anything else for teens that demonstrates how to interact as well as this book. The entire book is filled with live photographs of high school students interacting with one another. The speech bubbles and two line explanation under each photo instantly show you the appropriate way and time to communicate. It guides you on assessing the other person's mood or thoughts. The language is written in teen style (which many of us have forgotten!) The topics are an integral part of daily life for every high school student.

These children are socially out of step with their peers, and often they are ridiculed or ostracized for their differences. This book provides practical strategies and professional advice on helping learning disabled children achieve social success.
