No More Victims

Dr. Jed Baker

The digital world offers a wonderful way to communicate and socialise with others. Yet, it is also rife with the dangers of being victimised emotionally, physically, and financially.

Trusting individuals with autism spectrum disorders, who are oftentimes socially isolated, are especially vulnerable to online predators. Finally, we have a resource to help prepare them for the minefields they may encounter on the internet. In this much-needed book, Dr Baker presents three main areas of concern for our kids:
– Cyber bullying
– Online sexual predators
– Internet scams
Through Dr Baker’s invaluable advice, kids will learn what to look out for, whom to avoid, and how to protect themselves when they’re communicating online.

Parenting A Child With Asperger Syndrome

Brenda Boyd

For parents of children with Asperger Syndrome (AS), ordinary parenting just doesn't always do it - AS kids need a different approach.

Brenda is the mother to 13 yr old Kenneth, author of , and since his diagnosis at the age of eight she has gathered together the parenting ideas and tips that have had a positive effect on Kenneth’s life. Brenda discusses parents’ reaction to their child’s AS and gives advice on how to better understand ‘Planet Asperger’. This book helps parents respond positively to the challenges of AS & find the ‘treasure’ of their child’s way of being.

A note from SWAN: ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ is no longer used as a diagnosis and the term “high-functioning” is harmful, as it minimises the varied support needs of autistic people.  SWAN does not endorse these terms, but recognises that this resource contains other useful information.
