Rating: Summary: We wouldn't have had a diagnosis if it weren't for this book Review: What an eye-opening experience it was for me to finally find an explaination to my son's behaviors! Wow, we would have been stuck with an AS child being treated for ADHD and still having no success in the social adjustments.
The first night we recieved our book, my husband and I stayed up half the night screeming, "Look at this . . . This is my son"! It set us on our way to see a specialist that knew something more than our family pediatrician did about this neurological complex.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANKS AGAIN!!!
Rating: Summary: A Great Resource! Worth Every Penny! Review: Whatever point you are at in the AS process, from weary veteran to just coming to terms with the diagnosis, this book is a must read. It provides a wealth of information by individuals who truly understand what you are going through. As the parent of an AS child, I believe this is one of the best books out there on the subject.
Rating: Summary: A great resource for parents and professionals Review: When my son was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome The OASIS web site was the first place I found answers. This book provides the same user-friendly format and an abundance of helpful information. Originally diagnosed with severe adhd and ODD I felt like there was little hope of understanding my son, until I discovered Barb Kirby and her vault of info! I am thankful for the hope this book provides... there are answers to be found, you just have to know where to look. This book guides you to them just as the site did and still does! I am now the author of The ADHD-Autism Connection, not only is the OASIS Guide listed in my recommended reading section... but I personally suggest it as the best resource available for further information on Asperger's syndrome. Thank you ladies for providing such a wonderful resource, I will continue recommending it to all my readers and anyone who asks
Rating: Summary: Excellent Resource for Parents Review: Wonderful resource for the newly diagnosed family as well as the more experienced. Extremely valuable information and insight. Patty and Barb have poured their hearts out as mothers and advocates.
Rating: Summary: "Everything You Need Is Right Here" Review: Wow! There is everything any parent, grandparent, teacher, or friend needs to know about AS. The information on special-ed law, medication, coping with school, and social and emotional development apply to any child with AS, no matter what his or her age. Thank you, Patty and Barbara, for this unique and terrific book!
