    Great Resourse for Children!

    I am the parent of a 14 year old with Asperger Syndrome. I have spent thousands of dollars on medical testing and psychological therapy for my son. For some reason, he still could not ¿understand¿ why he was different from other children. We started working in this book together and suddenly a light bulb went off. This book explains, in terms comprehensive to a child with autistic spectrum disorders, feelings and emotions and how people react to these feelings and emotions. This book was a godsend as my son enters High School! It saved me another $1500 in summer therapy!

    An effective resource!

    Singularly the most thorough, sensitive resource to help children with autism spectrum disorders understand their strengths, personalities, and unique challenges. Also equally effective in helping parents and professionals understand aspects of a child's personality that they may not already be aware of.
