I recently purchased this book because I have Asperger's. I found the book to be very insightful and well written. Even though I do not have any brothers or sisters, it was nice to realize that I am not the only one who has these problems. My mother also enjoyed reading the book and too could identify with the characters in the book. For people who have Aspergers or who are growing up with a brother/sister with Aspergers I strongly recommend this book! For people in the medical field this book is ideal. It will give you a better insight on how siblings relate to one another when one or the other has Aspergers. This is a great book and I hope that its writers will consider publishing more books on this subjest. Please, BUY THIS BOOK!

Excellent book. Our family related to this well. My 10 yr old son loved it and realized he wasn't alone in his "adventure" with his 16 yr old brother w/ AS. Very easy reading. He read it all in the first day. Wonderful!!

After buying and wasting a lot of money on similar books/DVD's that were not worth 1/3 of the money...THIS book is refreshing. I am amazed how accurate this is and how easy it is to pick and choose where to start. I have an 11 year old with Aspergers and an 8 year old who just doesn't understand his brother.

I picked a few sections of the book to start with so that my younger son could identify with things and not get bored or annoyed and it worked beautifully. We have tried explaining his brothers actions so many times and finally feel like we have the proper tools with this book. This puts things a way that he can understand and identify with. It's not babyish nor is it too mature. I would use it (and maybe modify for the really young) for ages 5-15+. My son with Aspergers even loved it and copied a few sections as a cheat sheet so he knows how to explain some things. I highly, highly recommend this book!!! And I don't recommend so easily!
