-------
“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.”
- Chris David
Hawke, Shenandoah
Asperger Coaching
“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

If
common sense is so sensible, then why doesn't it make sense to
me?
Welcome to the sometimes non-sensible but always entertaining world of
common sense! More Comic Sense starts where the first book,
Comic Sense,
left off—exploring more of the unwritten rules, invisible patterns, and quiet logic
of our social world.
You’ll learn how to assess context, perspective, personal
perspectives, and relationships in new ways.
What’s more, you’ll discover
techniques for figuring out motives, making good decisions, and finding
personal happiness.
Fully illustrated with comics, cartoons, and diagrams,
More Comic Sense
brings common sense within the grasp of visual thinkers.
