I've been busy...

I am sorry, folks, that I haven't checked in in a while. I have been finishing up my new book, Nurturing Your Asperger's Child.  It's all the strategies I developed for helping my Asperger's kids (a girl and a boy) grow up.  They are now 18 and 13.  For the boy, growing up isn't finished, but a friend convinced me I ought to share with you all anyway.

Asperger's is a condition that affects one child in 150, according to the researchers.  This condition affects ability to interact socially, and often comes with a host of other challenges.  It is actually a mild form of autism.

For more information on this condition, you can go to a new Web site by a doctor and mother of Asperger's kids, Valerie Richey. She is homeschooling her kids, and has some wisdom for you.  Check out Autism in the Christian Home.

Posted by homeschoolingnewB

Hi! I just joined the "blogger" world. My son, 3 1/2 was diagnosed with Asperger's last month. I was hoping to homeschool, but am a little lost in the sea of information!
I'd love to hear more about you.

You have another ebook on the way.....good for you! I wish I had time to write all the things for which I have ideas, but I must finish my big book, the one that has your computer curriculum mentioned in it, first :)

Take care,
Barb
