This book by Paula Jacobson has been a lifesaver for my aspie son and his teachers. So many of the books on this topic are technical and all encompassing. This one captures the "spirit" of the issues that most affect day to day survival in the neuro-typical world. The many examples are very helpful in seeing the subtleties that are often not noticed but make all the difference.

I discovered this book about 4 years ago. It totally helped me understand how my teenage daughter had been thinking and thereby changed the way I related to her. Our relationship shifted from very difficult to wonderful. I am so grateful to have read it and to the author for writing it. Really worth it!

This book gave me lots of helpful tips, and for my son's teacher's too! It helped to know that my son's behavior is very typical of Asperger's, and that we are not alone in learning how to deal with it.
