Rating: Summary: From the mouths of babes Review: My twelve year old son was diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome during the past year and I have spent much of that year trying to learn as much as possible about his condition. I've read four other books on AS, and while they were all very good at describing this condition in clinical and sometimes anecdotal terms, none of them came close to being as enlightening and entertaining as young Kenneth Halls account of his condition. Perhaps it's because his personality and his AS mirror my own son's so closely, but my heart literaly sang as I read this book and discovered that all of my child's "unusal" behaviors were not merely idiosycracies, but part of a neurological condition which is shared by many people around the world. It's one thing to read a doctor's description of AS, and it's quite another to read a little boy honestly laying out the "cosy" fabric of his life. I can't thank Master Hall enough for his work in writing this book, and I can't recommend it enough to other parents and AS individuals. Sometimes you need to walk around in another man's boots (or books)to really understand him.
Rating: Summary: What an amazing kid! Review: This book helped me understand my child with Asperger's syndrome better than any of the books by "professionals." Excellent book, amazing boy!
Rating: Summary: Pretty good, very short.. Review: This is a great book for those living with a child with asperger syndrome. It's rare to hear about AS from the inside. There are books by Doctors, parents, adults with AS, teachers & various & assorted experts, all of which are helpful. But, this book has helped us understand OUR son better. It has helped us be more patient & to help our son find & maintain his comfort zone. Thanks Kenneth!

Rating: Summary: Asperger is just another way of thinking Review: When I asked my 9 year old son who has Aspeger Syndrome what he thought of this book he said it was "Great!" I read this book only a few months after my son was diagnosed last year and it was greatly reassuring. Although my son is not as brilliant or gifted as this ten year old author obviously is, the book is such a positive portrayal of the realities of having an child with Asperger's that it makes my son glow with pride that he is special like Kenneth and has so much in common with him. It gave us a new way of thinking of Aspergers, that it is not just a "disability" but a personality style, a different way of viewing the world. Yes, having a child who is AS is sometimes extremely difficult, but this book is inspirational and makes me believe that there is no end to what my son can achieve...in his own way. Knowledge is power. Let your AS child read this book!
