Product Description
Making friends is a skill like any other--there are rules to follow, ways to measure your progress, and reasons why some people are better at it than others. Although it may seem like this skill comes naturally to those who don't have Asperger's disorder, nonverbal learning disorder (NLD), or other problems relating to others, the reality is that even the most popular people must constantly hone their abilities in order to make new friends and keep the friends they already have. This workbook includes forty activities you can do to recognize and use your unique strengths, understand the unspoken rules behind how people relate to each other, and improve your social skills.

After completing the activities in this workbook, you will discover that you can get along with others and build friendships despite the challenges you face. All you need is the confidence to be yourself while still keeping the feelings of others in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great workbook for my patients., June 5, 2008

By	Alida D. Novarese (Memphis, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would recommend this workbook to parents or practitioners who work with Asperger's and/or learning disabled teens. It's interesting to them as they do want to improve their social lives. It has over 30 short "lessons" that you can give as therapeutic "homework" or parents can help their teen complete over the summer. Both patients I have used this workbook with so far have actually enjoyed it (a 15 year-old and an 18 year-old, both males).

5.0 out of 5 stars Social Skill Workbook For Teens, June 22, 2009

By	S. Young - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My son has high functioning autism .This workbook is age appropriate for High schoolers. He can do it on his own and it helps him keep up with his social skills he learns in school while he is on summer vacation. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help in social situations.There are a lot of books like this for elementary and middle school,but this is one of the few I have seen for teenagers.
