Temple Talk: Easy to Read
The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism and Asperger's by Temple Grandin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Temple Grandin speaks from personal experience as ASD/Aspergergian, giving extra credence to her message. Her straightforward approach is honest and compelling. Each chapter is only 5 pages or so, giving parents with ASD children a sense of accomplishment when we finish each chapter - many of us don't get much time to read. It's easy to get lost in the mumbo-jumbo terminology, psychobabble of many ASD books, but Temple's simple conversational style is extremely user-friendly. She inserts delightful wit and no-nonsense advice.

Adventures with Carl
Carl's Birthday by Alexandra Day
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Carl books were suggested in a course for helping parents to work with their children to develop expressive speech. These Carl books have minimal words and many pictures to captivate children. Each time we look at these books we notice new details. Carl the dog is lovable, mischieveous, yet responsible. Delightful in every way and my little guy talks up a storm and his imagination gets sparked. Lovely illustrations too.
