This book provides information about Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) by comparing cats to children with this high-functioning form of autism. The information is presented with accompanying pictures and helps ease the child into an understanding of his differences from his peers.

First of all I love cats, so I thought this was pretty cute and creative. I think that Asperger Syndrome is something that students really need to be familiar with because it is pretty likely that they will encounter a peer at some point who is diagnosed with this syndrome. I remember a student at my high school with Asperger's who was ridiculed a lot, and I don't think most people knew that he had been diagnosed. This book would be an easy way to explain Asperger's to students to give them an idea of what others are going through.
