Asperger's in Pink

Asperger's in pink: A mother and daughter guidebook for raising (or being!) a girl with Asperger's is a story of one family's journey through life with a girl with Asperger's. The book is an easy read with sections broken out into the following categories: The Diagnostic Process, School, Community, and Day-to-Day. Each chapter begins with a quote from Kristina, the daughter in this parent/child saga, and ends with "pink pearls" of wisdom from the author, Julie Clark, for not only family members but also for professionals in the field, educators, and others. Addtionally, Clark recounts specific instances of relevance from Kristina's life in a feature called, "Inside the Bubble" that helps the reader explore life with a girl with Asperger's further.
