Think Social

Michelle Garcia Winner

This book builds on the basic philosophy offered in THINKING ABOUT YOU THINKING ABOUT ME.

Created at the request of educators, therapists and parents to learn more about how to teach students with weak social cognition and related social skills (Asperger’s Syndrome, PDD-NOS, High Functioning Autism, ADHD, NLD, Hyperlexia) and those with murky social abilities. Many of the lessons Michelle weaves into her workshops are written in detail in this book, and there are many more the audiences have never heard!

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.
