I found this concise enough to be easily and quickly read by a teen, but not simplistic. For those wanting to do more research, it also includes a glossary, bibliography, and places to get help. The book's intended audience seems to be those who know someone with Asperger's, such as parents or friends, but it could also be very helpful to those with Asperger's themselves. (Unfortunately, in my experience books about AS are usually addressed to parents or family; books geared towards the person themself are uncommon.)

People with Asperger's Syndrome - or any autistic spectrum disorder - experience extreme difficulty in social interactions. A lack of ability to interpret social cues and 'unwritten rules' is one of the defining characteristics of AS, but it is further exacerbated by the fact that the actions and thought processes of those with Asperger's are similarly mysterious to neurotypical people. Educating students or patrons not only enables them to better interact with people who have AS, but it also encourages them to consider other ways in which people's thought process or world views differ from their own.

This book describes how hurtful cyberbullying can be to the receiver and how risky it can be for the sender. It includes attention-getting stories about suicides and arrests. The book is divided into easy-to-read sections. The pictures are generic, but the information is useful.
