Book Reviews of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
Book Review: Excellent description of presentation and treatment
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well written and thorough description of Asperger's Syndrome. It is much more complete than his previous book (Asperger's Syndrome A Guide for Parents and Professionals). Reading this book will give you a better sense of the range of this disorder and its various presentations. In addition to the description of the syndrome, there are many helpful ideas on treatment. These are directed to professionals but many can be implemented by parents. Resources and other readings about Asperger's are plentiful. I highly recomend this to anyone interested in Asperger's Syndrome.Book Review: The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
Summary: 5 Stars
Tony Attwood had been recommended to me by a therapist specializing in autism spectrum disorders as one of the best authors of material on AS. I purchased this book and have found it to be very complete and informative and helpful in more fully understanding Asperger's Syndrome. It is very professionally written. I would definitely recommend this as standard reading/reference to anyone interested in AS.The Complete Guide to Asperger's SyndromeBook Review: Dr Attwood helps Aspie people, their parents and community
Summary: 5 Stars
Professor Tony Attwood, is well known in Australia as our leading authority on Aspergers Syndrome. His book provides wonderful insights into the diagnosis, social understanding and friendships, teasing/bullying, expression of emotions, language, cognitive, sensory and movement characteristics, as well as chapters on relationships, life after school and FAQ's. Our family found it informative, reassuring and a great resource for teaching our child's school and community how better to understand and support people with Aspergers.Book Review: The Ultimate Guide!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this book as the main resource for my thesis paper in grad school ! - I read over seven books front to back on Asperger's and got this one last - as soon as it was available. Mr. Atwood's book was by far the most complete and easy to digest book. I especially liked how he is a proponant of having supportive and well-educated teacher's to help these kids through their daily struggle. I will keep this on my desk for years to come.

Book Review: A 'must' for any serious health reference collection.
Summary: 5 Stars
Usually books on Asperger's Syndrome address the diagnosis and options for children: The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome broadens the field, using case studies and personal accounts from the author's own clinical experience to cover both adults and children, and all symptoms of the syndrome. From causes and diagnosis to differences in social interactions, perception, and mental health issues, The Complete Guide goes far beyond the usual Asperger's approach and is a 'must' for any serious health reference collection.
