Book Reviews of Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals
Book Review: informative book
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is informative and insightful, but can read like a text book at times.Book Review: A little disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
So, this is my first review and please bare with me...As the mom of a recently diagnosed Aspie I was looking for a little more insight into better ways to help my daughter. I bought this book with some recommendations from her therapist only to crack it open and find a lot of the information that is contained within are things that I have learned through parenting her over the years, pre-diagnosis. There are a few useful tools here and there but nothing I would suggest someone go buy the book to get at. Instead hit your local library and save your money. After borrowing it from the library make a decision as to whether or not this is a resource you really need.Book Review: The ONE
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are going to buy only one book about Asperger's Syndrome, this is the one. Tony Atwood presents the information clearly and fully. After reading it cover to cover, I frequently refer back to this book for straightforward and accurate information.Book Review: Limited information
Summary: 4 Stars
While the information is incontrovertible as it pertains to assessing signs in the development of children, there is scarce information for assessing and living with adults. While I could identify symptoms in the history of my adult child, living with an adult with AS one looks for avenues of treatment and/or perspective. I found the latter to be sorely lacking.Book Review: Start Here
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first book I read on Asperger's, and I am glad that it was. Tony Attwood is one of the leading experts on Asperger's. He really gets it and doesn't try to fit an Asperger child into a nt understanding of the world, but goes to the Asperger world. It has really helped me understand myself and my children better. Well done! I can't wait to see more from him.
