Lise Pyles lives with her family in Aurora, Colorado and is the mother of a son with Asperger Syndrome who, homeschooled for several years, is now at university. A freelance writer, she is the author of Hitchhiking through Asperger Syndrome: How to Help Your Child When No One Else Will, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

Review :
If you need help in deciding if you should homeschool your child with Asperger Syndrome, or if you just need some help getting started, this book could be a good starting point. An excellent book overall that takes a clear look at what it means to live and deal with an Asperger's child throughout the `school age' years. Family histories lend weight to the theoretical methods suggested and ideas for home educating these special children and teenagers are clearly stated. Of real use are the websites and games giving activities that are particularly suited to Aspergers children. The ideas and suggestions are excellent. A book I would recommend for its straight forward approach and ideas. Packed with inspiring ideas and tips that can be used with any curriculum and on any budget.
