I got this book to not only help me, but to help my sons teachers understand some of the complexities of Aspergers. It is a great reference for teachers, professionals, and parents.

This book is packed with hundreds of ideas to help children with AS survive in a neurotypical world. It explains sensory issues in a user-friendly way and provides a blue print for helping individuals with AS!

This is an excellent book that looks at Asperger's, which is a neurobiological condition that affects sensory processing and integration. I like the way explanations are provided about a/A behavior and responses, e.g. sound sensitivity.

Many sensible suggestions are made for helping the neurotypical (NT) population navigate on autism/Asperger's territory. That is a pleasant reversal as people on the a/A spectrum have always been expected to make all the concessions and meet all the demands the NT population has made. After all, the world is for EVERYBODY and that includes people on the a/A spectrum.

If you are a parent or a teachers working with a child on the spectrum who is or leans in the Asperger direction this book helps to understand where the child is coming from when crtain behaviors or reactions occur and it also gives strategeys to help the child deal with or corect the behavior. Easy to read.
