Of Mice and Aliens: An Asperger Adventure (Asperger Adventures)

The sequel to the recently published Blue Bottle Mystery, this is a science fiction novel for children aged 8-13, with a difference. Ben is learning to cope with his newly diagnosed Asperger Syndrome, but when an alien, Zeke, crash-lands in his back yard, things really get complicated. Zeke knows nothing about Earth's rules and norms, and it is up to Ben and his friend Andy to help him survive.

As well as being a delightful story which young people, particularly those with Asperger Syndrome and their siblings, will enjoy, it is a valuable teaching tool that presents the individuality of children with Asperger Syndrome as valid and interesting.
