Summary: I really wanted to love this book...
Review: ...it is such a great premise, and the author seems so thoughtful! However, it just isn't useful for our family. We've already discussed the rules covered here (except for some of the school-related ones, since we're homeschooling)with our 6-year-old son in greater detail than is found here. Two paragraphs of advice is not going to prepare my son to attend a wedding, for example.Maybe as my son gets older, we'll find that he would appreciate hearing this advice from another child rather than from his parents. If that happens, I'll buy the book again (I'm returning it now). This would be a great book to have in a support group lending library for a child to peruse, but it just isn't useful enough for our particular situation to keep on our shelf. I hope Ms. Myles writes a book on living on one's own when she's older--by the time my son is ready to do that, I imagine he would greatly prefer to follow a peer's advice than his mother's!

Summary: Great resource to deal with life's events for those with AS!
Review: I work with children with Asperger Syndrome and have highly recommended this book to my families that are in need of solutions to daily issues. It an easy-to-read format written by a young girl who has thought to answer questions that I would have never even thought to ask. Lot of details...if you have a child with AS...you know that he or she is probably into those details. :) Perfectly written for a child or teen's audience, this book covers topics such as how to locate family if you get lost from them in a store, manners, conversations, and much more!

Summary: Not helpful
Review: There was little in here to help the high functioning kids. Much of the the advice was not detailed enough for an Aspie and above the head of many. It was a nice effort, but I did not find it worth the price.
Rating: 
Summary: Unfortunate Offering
Review: This book really was not helpful and the information offered to sell the book should lead with the fact that the author is only nine years old. It reads like something any slightly precocious nine year old would write about general behavior. There are no "solutions" that I could find in the content, nor any particular insights into the specific - and debilitating - challenges that children with Asperger Syndrome face. There are some helpful books written by and for young people with Asperger Syndrome. This book is not one of them.
