This is a must read book if your child has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. I found it very informative and helpful. The author not only understands how AS kids think he gives wonderful advice about how to deal with just about any problem that they might face from childhood through college.

I have read just about every book I can get my hands on since my son was diagnosed and this is one of the better ones. I would highly recommend this book to parents and teachers of children with AS. I will be giving a copy of this book to every teacher my son has!

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.

After my 11 yr old was diagnosed with Asperger's our doctor loaned me her copy of this book. By chapter two I had ordered my own copy.
Clear examples, straight forward language, no mumbo-jumbo. But enough love, understanding and humor to allow any one to appreciate how special our Aspie family members really are.

This is the book you should read FIRST when your child or loved one is diagnosed. While other resources go in depth on different specifics, the whys and hows and what to do this book gives it to you straight without a lot of jargon and can point you in the directions you need to go next. We purchased this book when our oldest child was diagnosed and have since lent it out to numerous other families in need. We are now purchasing a second copy (we do not remember location of initial copy as it's lent out) as we feel our middle child is also Asperger's and is in the process of testing.

This is soooo readable. You could probably read it in one or two days. It captured my attention from the start of the book. I feel like it is empowering me to see my son in a different light and learn how to help him become the best person he can be.

I was so impressed after reading this book, I am still in awe. It is absolutely excellent. When I saw the title, I knew it would be a book I'd likely be interested in as autism is a subject which is very near and dear to me. However, this has far exceeded any hopes I had. If anybody remotely has any interest in autism, this is an absolutely must read. I have been to many workshops and conferences on autism, and this has touched base with somethings I've noticed about from what I have seen at some of these workshops as well as some events I have attended geared to those with autism as well as family members, however, before this, nothing I have read has really touched base on the subject.

This has so totally exceeded any hopes I had, even after seeing the title.

I had originally purchased 3 books, one for myself and two for friends I knew would be extremely interested. However, after reading this, I will be purchasing three more books. These will also be for friends very dear to me who also have an interest in autism and who also have attend whatever workshops and conferences that have been available to them as well and who have noticed also what I have and what this book discusses.

Mr. Stillman I truly owe you such deep gratitude for what you have compiled. This is what some friends and I have just talked and theorized about. Thanks so much, we owe you such gratitude.

This book was okay, but didn't add to the information already available in other resources.

The information on homeschooling as an educational option was totally wrong and it was obvious the author has no knowledge of what homeschooling is really like and the incredible resources available to homeschoolers now as far as socialization opportunities as well as curricula and state requirements. He didn't do his research or even talk to homeschooling families to find out what it is really like.

Unfortunately, because this erroneous information in his book, many parents will probably pass up this totally wonderful opportunity to truly help their Aspergers or autistic children.
