• Lisa's Asperger Syndrome
  Lisa's Asperger syndrome(AS) reminds me of my childhood; I hated groupism and still do. And I had some clumsy motor skill, so PE classes were a real nightmare. But I would say she is a lot happier than I was in my childhood. Nobody knew anything about AS and neither did I.

  My 8 year old son has AS. He discovered his disability by reading the Blue Bottle Mystery by the same author. Since then, we have bought the 2 other books. This book is mainly about a girl with AS. It is so beautiful to read, especially that it is not only about a disability, but it is also introducing a work of art that is rare, lacemaking... Kids and adults will get a chance to think about how intricate lacemaking is and how much patience it takes, and how AS is intricate and patience it requires.... more info
