When I bought this book for my child, he immediately read it. He now tells us the rules for all the situations he learned in the Practical Solutions book. It is wonderful and a true gift to children! When I had the chance to read the book (after my child went to bed), I found how truly wonderful it was! Thanks for helping my child learn things I never thought to teach. This is a true survival guide!

This review is from: Practical Solutions to Everyday Challenges for Children with Asperger Syndrome (Paperback)

I work with children with Asperger Syndrome and have highly recommended this book to my families that are in need of solutions to daily issues. It an easy-to-read format written by a young girl who has thought to answer questions that I would have never even thought to ask. Lot of details...if you have a child with AS...you know that he or she is probably into those details. :) Perfectly written for a child or teen's audience, this book covers topics such as how to locate family if you get lost from them in a store, manners, conversations, and much more!
