Starting Points provides a global perspective on how the core characteristics of AS may appear separately or simultaneously, and how they may manifest in a variety of situations. Starting from the premise that no two individuals with Asperger Syndrome are the same, each characteristic is paired with a brief explanation, followed by a series of bulleted interventions that include strategies and visual supports to help children on the spectrum who have difficulty with abstract concepts and thoughts, difficulty understanding and regulating emotions, and difficulty recognizing, interpreting and empathizing with the emotions of others.
