Indeed, some of their behaviors and characteristics that others see as different make many of these children easy targets for frequent and severe bullying. Perfect Asperger Syndrome and Bullying - Practical Solutions for Surviving the Social World takes a frank look at the different types of bullying and what adults must do to curb bullying, helping to prevent the often lifelong effects of this behavior on its victims. Practical strategies and solutions at the school, class and individual levels are presented. Foreword by Brenda Smith Myles, PhD.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found the beginning chapters on bullying most usual to me. The remaining discusses what is needed to create an effective school wide bullying program. While interesting, it wasn't relevant to what I hoped to learn. Still glad I read it however.

[Silly Sadly · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read for all walks of life.

[Ruth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is very realistic and accurate. Overall, though, I believe that eradicating bullying down to a tolerable level, let alone altogether, is absolutely impossible.
