Editorial Reviews

Product Description
No Duty to Retreat is a fascinating tour through the neurological conditions Tourette Syndrome and Asperger’s Syndrome. Tourette Syndrome, characterized by tics, and Asperger Syndrome, a mild form of autism, are vividly described in this superior learning odyssey by Bishop Hern¡ndez. It will also contain the fullest, most accurate and up-to-date information. This book is also an excellent resource on day-to-day living for those families affected by these conditions. Chapters on friends, social difficulties, medical community advice, expert tips on school difficulties, and much more are all included. The works of other experts are comprehensively quoted, and the manuscript had the advantage of being reviewed by several of the world’s experts, including Asperger expert Dr. Tony Attwood and Tourette expert Dr. David Comings. Enjoy and benefit from this thrilling, absorbing history of neurological illness and wellness; much of the information you will read here will be for the first time. And, directly from the author, “Bless you, and thank you for buying my book!”

5.0 out of 5 stars So interesting, April 20, 2006
By C. Clark (upstate, California) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have an Asperger's syndrome diagnosis and some sort of shadow Tourette's traits. I loved this book. Antonio Hernandez is a fabulous writer. The previous reviewer compared him to Temple Grandin. I have some complaints about Temple Grandin, though she's very sincere in what she says. I don't have any complaints about Antonio Hernadez's statements about Autism or Tourette's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning theory emerges from brilliant study, February 12, 2004
By C. Weber (Rock Island IL) - See all my reviews
Bishop E. Antonio Hernandez has written a book the scope of which has only been equalled by Dr. Temple Grandin. From ancient histories of Tourette's and autism to humorous mini-biographies of famous sufferers, Bp. Hernandez really delivers. Bp. Hernandez has given us a fantastic guided tour through the worlds of these awful neurological diseases, and he surprises the reader with what may be the biggest theory yet introduced in the field. Anyone who is in any way touched by Tourette's, autism or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder CANNOT afford to miss this book!
