First--I don't know what that Patty person was talking about! Sounds like it might be a personal vendetta! This is a great book. Very well written, well organized, with a definite point of view: that is, an advocacy point of view. Very comprehensive as well--covers everything from the theories about autism to practical advice for educating children with this disorder. I greatly appreciated the tone of the book as well. Not cute or condescending or boring like so many books of this ilk. The only drawback is the price.

The book is unfocused. Ms. Rosaler never settled on what her primary point was. Part of it was story telling, part of it was Aspergers, part of it was stigma, part of it was special education and school, etc. It lacked focus and staying power. She drifted all over.
It was clear that all of her "statements of fact," were not factually supported -- in fact they often were wrong -- but were statements of her opinion without supporting facts.
She uses politically incorrect language about people with disabilities at many points in the book.
She identifies what she considers to be multiple problems but she offers no solution to the problems, nor does she offer any practical advice to the reader to help guide the reader through or around the problems she identifies.
I didn't find the book informative, well written or helpful. It isn't worth the price. There are many more books that would be more helpful to parents/families living with Asperger's. I encourage readers to save your money and pass on this book.

Although written very simply, this book allows the whole family to connect with the issue of aspergers. This book allows Aspergers Syndrome to be talked about, and not be a pink elephant in the living room. A little over priced, though...
