Book Reviews of Taking Care of Myself: A Hygiene, Puberty and Personal Curriculum for Young People with Autism
Book Review: Clean Up Time
Summary: 5 Stars
This book makes me think of the John Lennon 1980 classic, "Clean Up Time."
This is an excellent book geared for the adolescent or tween on the autism/Asperger's spectrum. I like the way it tackles topics such as body development; hormonal changes; basic grooming and bathroom etiquette such as when boys use urinals.
I like the way vignettes were provided using different voices, e.g. first, second, third person. Prompts such as visual cues and other teaching tools are included. This author wisely suggests using a similar approach in teaching preschoolers good grooming habits and the rationale for same.
This book is for the adult instructor and young pupil alike. The drawings are discreet and appropriate and are not likely to make a young person feel embarrassed or threatened.
The tone of this book is plainly quite instructional, which is often a good approach with the a/A population. People with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) have been called "little professors" and often seek informational books and present discussions in an informtional format. This book does a good job of recognizing this trait and responding to it accordingly.
I highly recommend this book for parents, educators and young people. It is an important work and valuable resource tool.
