“As a psycholinguistics professor, I recommend Comic Sense by
Nancy Mucklow because it meets the standards for a user-friendly
content and organization, making the book easy to understand and
apply. As an Aspie,
I recommend it because it helps the reader develop the
all-too-often illusive notion of common sense in a fun and
entertaining way!”
- Liane Holliday Willey, author of Pretending to Be Normal:
Living with Asperger Syndrome
“Comic Sense
is a new resource which is appropriate for use with persons on
the Autism Spectrum. It is a unique and clever guide to
the hidden curriculum and the social conventions frequently
misunderstood by this population. The graphic format
reinforces the social stories and provides a useful handbook of
common sense."
-
Ellen H. Korin, author of
Asperger Syndrome: An Owner’s Manual
“Comic
Sense presents practical, creative and fun strategies for
understanding and moving forward with social situations and
interactions. This practical and fun ‘behind the scenes’
approach should appeal to a diverse range of ages and abilities.
It is a great practical read for individuals with Asperger’s and
ADHD, their families and educators.”

“Brilliant! I saw myself in
so much of this book, I wish I could have read it when I was
younger. Comic Sense is the funny, clever, painless way
to help those with ADHD learn self-awareness and adaptability.
If you have ADHD or if you know someone who does, this is a
must-read. This book will be a valuable addition to my
coaching.”

Peggy Oliver, ADHD Coach, GoodThinkingADHD.com
“This pioneering work is a masterpiece! It is a reference guide for those who need this kind
of common sense, and a handbook for those who are in
relationship to such people.
Comic Sense provides a
roadmap into the unchartered territory of this hidden
disability... a central piece to the puzzle of communication on
the spectrum.”
- Marcia Postema Angel, parent and SPD occupational
therapist

world.
