One of my sons is seeing a therapist & she has stated that she feels he has some traits of AS. Well, after looking into it more, it would seem that both of my sons do. They are 15 & 20 and both of them enjoyed this book & seeing their own traits along with the traits of other family members being pointed out. The good thing is that it also gave them insight into why other people respond to them the way they do. I think this book will help them both in relating to other people. This has been a very handy book for them. Well written.

An insightful resource! I found this book to be very informative. The author's explanation of the syndrome was clear and very easy to understand. To read the preface advocacy. One would hope a child with Asperger's would be diagnosed at the elementary level. However, with such a new awakening to the topic, I feel there are probably hundreds of misdiagnosed adolescents out there waiting for help and insight. Parents, I urge you to approach your child's teachers if you suspect Asperger-like characteristics in your own child. Then, I recommend you all read this book!
