Best of the Best!!! (5 stars)
I have a son with Asperger's, not diagnosed until age thirteen, and I've probably bought every book out there on the subject. I have to say this book is far and away THE BEST and most useful one I've ever gotten. I just came across it a couple of weeks ago while browsing in a bookstore, and just flipping through it I could tell it was just what I'd been looking for. So many of the other books describe behaviors that seem to fit a majority of Aspies, but that didn't quite fit my son. I felt SO relieved to see the chapter on subtypes, to know that other children out there are like my son (no outburts, no impulsive behaviors or inappropriate communication, but very rigid, uninterested in friendships or independence at age 15, and with anxiety through the roof). To the authors: THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! I recommend this book to every Aspie parent I meet now, and tell them it's a 'must' for their libraries. Please write more!!!
Very appreciative parents thank the authors (5 stars)
The CSIT (Cognitive Social Integration Theory) that is the cornerstone of Alan Sohn and Cathy Grayson's approach is a brilliant one. It draws on the strength of the Asperger child's intelligence, and gives the parent/teacher real tools to both understand and work with the Asperger child. As parents of a very bright young boy, we've particularly incorporated the all-important concept of flexibility, and we can see real results. I highly recommend this book to everyone and have no doubt that it will become one of the most important and influential books written on Asperger's Syndrome.
Can't do without this book ... (5 stars)
This is the book I have been looking for. It seems to be written with the understanding that the parents of an Aspie may need to have material presented to them in the same way their child does (it is mainly genetic ... right?). The book offers helpful, practical and doable solutions to the everyday issues parents are handling with their Aspie child. All of us parents know when a writer/psychologist/doctor really "gets it" and believe me these two understand what it takes to help our children. This book has helped me calm MY anxiety about doing good by my son and to have a better picture of his future. You will not be able to put it down.
