This collection of ten fully illustrated stories explores friendship issues encountered by children with ASD aged four to eight and looks at how they can be overcome successfully. Key problem areas are addressed, including sharing, taking turns, being a tattletale, obsessions, winning and losing, jealousy, personal space, tact and diplomacy, and defining friendship. The lively and entertaining stories depersonalise issues, allowing children to see situations from the perspective of others and enabling them to recognise themselves in the characters. This opens the door to discussion, which in turn leads to useful insight and strategies they can practise and implement in the future. Each story has a separate introduction for adults which explains the main strategies within it. This book will be a valuable resource for all parents and teachers of children with ASD, along with their friends and families, and anybody else looking to help children on the spectrum to understand, make and maintain friendships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul style=\"margin-bottom: 1px; margin-left: 18px; color: #333333; padding: 0px; list-style-type: none; font-size: 13px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 19px; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 5.5px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers (15 Nov. 2010)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Jessica Kingsley Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51273328918811,"sku":"1849051453","price":14.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0915\/4363\/4203\/files\/learning-about-friendship-3367272.jpg?v=1781791747","url":"https:\/\/abcschoolsupplies.co.uk\/products\/learning-about-friendship","provider":"ABC School Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
