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?

Could it have been you by any chance?

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.
