Here's what I've read so far:
1.Buster and the Amazing Daisy
2.Ian's Walk
3.Blue Bottle Mystery
4.Is Lydia Strange? (this book is only available at Borders in PA, Maryland, and New York City).

What are some good ones and discuss them. :)

Frankly I am amazed you have even found these books! I can't find a gosh darn thing here in the UK!

This is a great idea. I wish I knew of any - in case my children end up having AS, whenever I get around to making them :P

All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome.

I found it in my school's lost-and-found. It was a fairly charming book.

Depends upon whether a book written by a child counts as a children's book. "Asperger Syndrome, The Universe and Everything" was written by 10-year-old Kenneth Hall. It's a UK book, too; from a part of Northern Ireland just a few miles away from me
