04. Bråkiga ungar och snälla barn, by Ann-Christin Thimon

Title: Bråkiga ungar och snälla barn
By: Ann-Christin Thimon
Rating: 3/5

Language I read it in: Swedish
Date I finished reading it: Spring 2007

Original title: Bråkiga ungar och snälla barn
English title: N/A (translates as "Unruly kids and sweet children")
Published: 2000
Length: 114 pages
Genre: Course literature (University)

Main character(s): Ola, Klas and Malin who are all fictional characters with Asperger's Syndrome.
Synopsis: This book is meant for people who study to become teachers, it explains the best ways to deal with kids and teens who have AS.
Best: I am so glad that a book like this exists, it's great that teachers can finally find out how to deal with these kinds of things. There was no such book when I grew up.
Worst: That this book isn't something everyone has to read before they get to become a teacher. It should be mandatory, if you ask me.
Quotes: None this time.
Comments: This is the kind of book that should be available at every school so that every teacher could get to at least skim through it. There are so many people out there who have no idea what Asperger's Syndrome is and if no one even knows that that's what a certain person is suffering from, then in my experience, teachers can be the worst when it comes to judging you and assuming the worst just because they can't bother to try to understand you. This book could help, it's such a shame it hasn't done that - yet.
