common sense book for ADHD and Asperger’s
Published August 6, 2010 by Nancy
So here’s what’s been happening over the past several weeks that’s been taking up my blogging time.
I wrote a book on common sense for young people with ADHD and Asperger’s. It’s not out yet, give it a few more weeks.
The project began a year ago. I was thinking about the invisible rules of society and how hard it is for anyone with ADHD, Asperger’s, PDD, or sensory processing disorder to figure them out. Most of the books available listed social rules to memorize.
But social rules depend on the situation. They’re context-dependent. Memorizing rules won’t help unless you figure out the underlying principles that govern those rules.
Heavy talk, but that’s what common sense is.
So a year has been spent figuring out what common sense ADHD and Asperger young people don’t have.
The result is a book that defines common sense and divides it into three basic concepts and four major applications. Cartoons and comics make up most of the book.
And yes, I drew the comics myself. I took art in high school and have never used it.
If you are interested in previewing the book and sending me feedback, please email me.
