Summary: A WONDERFUL RESOURCE
Review: This book is an invaluable resource for anyone who knows or works with individuals on the autism spectrum.
My daughter has aspergers syndrome, and I was so thrilled to find many of my questions, some of which I was too afraid to ask, answered gently and honestly in this book. I was so impressed, actually, that I immediately bought copies for the grandparents, so that they can understand our child better, as well.
This book is the Asperger's Parent equivalent of "What to Expect when You're Expecting".
Not only will parents find it helpful, but professionals working with children with Aspergers/Autism.

Summary: Informative for School Aged Children
Review: This was very informative about what Asperger's Syndrome is, how to explain it to friends and family, schools, etc. The book did an excellent job of describing what it feels like to have Asperger's so the parent can get a sense of what their child lives with.
I think it is meant for parents who have school aged children with Asperger's though. I have a preschooler with it, so many of the ideas about dealing with it will not help me at this point. The ideas seemed great though...so if you have a school aged child dealing with it, read the book. Me, I'll save it til my son is older =)
