AS & Wikibooks

Post Reply New Topic

Out of curiosity I searched for Asperger's in Wikibooks and found the following links. I'm sure a lot of you will have seen them already. But in case you haven't:


http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/A_survival_guide_for_people_on_the_autistic_spectrum - Survival Guide for People on the Autistic Spectrum[url]

Haven't started reading this yet, but let's have a look at this, see what we think, and add/edit anything we think fit. It seems WrongPlanet members have already been well involved in making this.


http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Aspies_Book - Aspies Book, so far there is a first chapter on "What makes me an Aspie and others not".[url]

Clearly needs a lot of expansion - and ideas for expansion - but would be interesting for a few of us to add our experiences. Would be a good tool for teaching/introducing the young in particular about AS.


I think WikiBooks has great potential. It must do, especially as I remember seeing Wikipedia when it first started (around 2002) as a small amateur collection of articles. Now it has broken a million articles, and it's like the last word.[/url]

Here is a wikibooks trivia question:

Who created the current wikibooks logo?

Had a hunch.

The aspies book is interesting.

Regarding the survival guide book, I'm glad they put it on wikibooks. I think it was the perfect place to put it.

That was interesting, I was unaware of wikibooks. Couple yrs. ago I'd printed out Marc Segar's survival guide for people w/AS, it was high-quality writing. Not sure what I think of that which was linked to-haven't had time to read it all yet. Thanks for the info.
