Hi, :sunny:

I wanted to invite all of you to join our new Aspergers/Autism book club. We are starting our first reading in Jan and discussion in Feb. We hope to help each other out. :help:

Our first book is Becoming Remarkably Able http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=697636

We will be discussing the book on our yahoo group website:

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Al ... Aspergers/

You can read more about the club at our website:

We have about 50 members. So we are good size and diversity of people but would love to include more.

Hope to hear from you all soon. :cheers:

Oh yeah, don't worry about reading the whole book just read the parts you have time and interest in reading.

Best, :wink:

Sounds like a neat book topic!

I cannot afford to buy books and the only way I could read this book is if it is in my local library, and I was told it would not be ordered anytime soon (small town budgets and all) but I will read comments posted on the Book Club site.

Thank you for providing the links. Good luck.

Thanks for joining!

I understand what it is like to be poor. I am poor. But a couple of hints for books. You can usually find someone to split the intial costs for it, another parent, a special education teachers, another aspie in your community. Then you can keep the receipt, donate the book to the library, and write it off on your taxes. So it doesn't really have to cost anything, and you can always go back to the library and rent the book again.

You can also try to get an inter library loan. That is why I give at least a month, so people have time to get it in other ways besides the easy way of buying it.

Just some ideas from poor people that like books.

Best,
