Book Reviews of All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome
Book Review: A simple, yet insightful book
Summary: 5 Stars
I received "All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome" as a gift from my husband shortly after being diagnosed with AS. Having been an avid ailurophile all my life, I immediately read it and found myself delighted by the sweet kitty pictures along with the amusing comparisons to this condition I've had all my life.
Some excerpts made me deliriously happy and a few passages conjured up feelings of extreme sadness (mainly the ones dealing with the feelings of alienation.) Most of the traits fit me very well, although there were a few exceptions. This is to be expected, as not everyone with AS is going to have identical traits.) I cannot speak for other people with Asperger's Syndrome, but I feel it is an accurate, yet simple, description that fits my experiences very well.
What I liked most about this book was its playful simplicity. I was able to share it with my relatives while explaining the condition. I'd shared other books pertaining to Asperger's Syndrome, but they either became bored or confused. It wasn't that way with this one. Not only did it keep their interest piqued, it also delivered its message with a clarity rarely seen. "All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome" will not have a place on my bookshelves--it belongs on my coffee table, where it is the first book I see every day.
Summary of All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome
All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome takes a playful look at Asperger Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration from the feline world in a way that will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS.Delightful color photographs of cats bring to life familiar characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign of being stroked and particular eating habits.
Touching, humorous and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and joys of raising a child who is different and leaves the reader with a sense of the dignity, individuality and potential of people with AS.
This engaging book is an ideal, gentle introduction to the world of AS.
