Product Description:
It is currently estimated that over 500,000 families struggle with Asperger's Syndrome, a highly prevalent yet difficult to diagnose disorder that affects hundreds of thousands of children and adults.
In a time when parents are overwhelmed with confusing-and often conflicting-information, The Asperger's Answer Book provides them with clear and confident counsel. Written by an experienced child psychologist, The Asperger's Answer Book covers such topics as:
--Is it autism or is it Asperger's?
--Getting your child evaluated
--Emotional intelligence
--Routines and rituals
--Motor skills
--Sensory sensitivity
--Growing up with Asperger's Syndrome
Written in an easy-to-read Q&A format, The Asperger's Answer Book helps parents understand and accept their child's illness and develop a plan for success.

This is a great book, incorporating answers to the 300 most common questions asked by parents of children with Asperger's Disorder. I work as a clinician and highly reccomend this book for parents of kids with Asperger's, as well as clinicians and mental health care providers who interact with this population. A great resource!

Dr. Ashley did a wonderful job of creating a well researched, up to date, easy to read and very informative book on Asperger's. I work in the clinical psychology field and Dr. Ashleys book is the best I have yet to read on Asperger's syndrome. I recommend this book to all without any reservations!

I found that the author was rather grey and white in her descriptions of children with Asperger's Syndronme which she refers to as Asperger's DISORDER. All children with AS do not have the same sets or degrees of difficulties and the author would make statements that led one to believe otherwise. I found it unhelpful and would not want someone else dismissing a diagnosis based on this book. An example would be that the author states the AD child DOES NOT: show much interest in other people or share in the interests of others. That is untrue in many cases. Some may have difficulty with it, for others it may be impossible, but for others yet, they may seek out others and friendships and have plenty of empathy for those they care about. Read Tony Attwood's book instead to give you the answers you need to understand the SPECTRUM of Asperger's. The author here does nothing to qualify her sweeping statements and treats all Asperger's children the same. I have read upwards of twenty books on AS, and I was the least impressed by this book.
