Early Praise for Comic Sense

“As a psycholinguistics professor, I recommend Comic Sense by Nancy Mucklow because it meets the standards for a user-friendly content and organization, making the book easy to understand and apply. As an Aspie, I recommend it because it helps the reader develop the all-too-often illusive notion of common sense in a fun and entertaining way!” Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger’s Syndrome

“Comic Sense is a new resource which is appropriate for use with persons on the Autism Spectrum. It is a unique and clever guide to the hidden curriculum and the social conventions frequently misunderstood by this population. The graphic format reinforces the social stories and provides a useful handbook of common sense.” Ellen H. Korin, author of Asperger Syndrome: An Owner’s Manual

“Comic Sense is crammed full of the sort of information you never get taught. I know a lot of people with Asperger’s and ADHD, and all of them would benefit from learning these lessons. The book is a treasure trove of useful, clearly explained simple skills which you can learn in order to develop that common sense that everyone expects you to have and yet no one teaches you how to get. Social rules are de-mystified one after another, and the reader is given simple things to do that will make all the difference. There is wealth of information here, and in truth, we could all use it. This sort of common sense is not as common as it perhaps should be. And those of us who are helping people on the spectrum will surely also value the clarity with which Nancy Mucklow has utilised in developing this book.”  Bill Goodyear, author of Coaching People with Asperger’s Syndrome

“Comic Sense presents practical, creative and fun strategies for understanding and moving forward with social situations and interactions. This practical and fun ‘behind the scenes’ approach should appeal to a diverse range of ages and abilities. It is a great practical read for individuals with Asperger’s and ADHD, their families and educators.”  Chris David Hawke, Shenandoah Asperger Coaching

“Brilliant! I saw myself in so much of this book, I wish I could have read it when I was younger. Comic Sense is the funny, clever, painless way to help those with ADHD learn self-awareness and adaptability. If you have ADHD or if you know someone who does, this is a must-read. This book will be a valuable addition to my coaching.” Peggy Oliver, ADHD Coach, GoodThinkingADHD.com

“This pioneering work is a masterpiece! It is a reference guide for those who need this kind of common sense, and a handbook for those who are in relationship to such people. Comic Sense provides a roadmap into the unchartered territory of this hidden disability… a central piece to the puzzle of communication on the spectrum.” Marcia Postema Angel, parent and SPD occupational therapist
