amazing December 11, 2008
I am really astonished. It offered me a complete picture of AS and helped me difining my goals as a clinician. Above any expectation.
Kind and encouraging December 10, 2008
With kind and thoughtful words, Tony Attwood has removed an unbearable burden from my heart. My son aged 32, was recently diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Mr. Attwood's book cannot retrieve or relieve my son's childhood, but he does help us see a brighter future.
Helpful December 1, 2008
This book is very helpful and informative. I didn't know much about AS previously. The author has extensive clinical experience with AS patients. He includes his own insights as well as those of other people. He includes many descriptions and examples. I am only half way through the book, but I am recognizing many symptoms in my teenage daughter. It explains alot! Even things I would not have connected with AS. This book is not negative in any way. I feel very good about who my daughter is, and understand better why she is the way she is. AS people are very special and gifted. AS people can contribute to the world in ways the rest of us cannot. This book also has some "coping" suggestions, such as how to help the AS person recognize social cues. I would recommend this book to anyone curious about Aspergers Syndrome.

A very informative and comprehensive text. This book is a great reference for anybody. It's certainly the best book that I've found for grown-up Aspies. Sometimes it seems like everything else that's been written on Asperger's Syndrome is directed towards "parents of children with."

As a Grandparent of a 12 year old boy with Asperger's, this book has been great in answering the many questions we, as his extended family, have. It also offers suggestions as to how we may help him reach his full and magnificent potential.
