I THINK WHOMEVER HAS A CHILD WITH AUTISM OR ASPERGERS, IT WAS A GREAT BOOK, AND ANSWERED A GREAT DEAL OF QUESTIONS. MY ONLY PROBLEM WAS, I DON'T HAVE A CHILD, I HAVE A TEENAGER. BELEIVE ME, ONCE HORMONES KICK IN, YOU HAVE A GREAT MANY "NEW" QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED. ALL THE BOOKS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED, (I HAVE A SMALL LIBRARY), SEEMS TO DEAL WITH CHILDREN, NOT SO MUCH YOUNG ADULTS. BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN, IT WAS EXCELENT READING.

How I wish this book was written sooner!! My son was diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder at age 2, he is now 4. This is the very first and only, in my opinion, book that looks at Autism from a more positive and less "cynical clinical" perspective. These are REAL questions from REAL parents that may not make sense to some who read this book that do not have children on the spectrum, but for us this book is a God send. Thank you Mr. Stillman for taking the time to give your wisdom to this book. I have recommended this book to all of the parents that are just starting out on the Autsim Journey with their child. This book truly is a breath of fresh air into a society where most books on this subject leave parents feeling hopeless and depressed. This book leaves one with understanding. Once again Thank You Mr. Stillman!! God Bless You!!

My son was recently diagnosed as a child with autism. This book simply and thoroughly answered all the questions my husband and I had. We knew very little about autism before the diagnoses and what we knew wasn't completely accurate. It has helped us rethink what we knew and look at autism as just a part of who our beautiful and bright son is and not something horrible we have to face alone or in shame. The perspectives he shares from adults with autism were really empowering to hear. We are going to be buying copies for friends and family members to help them understand our son better. I would recommend this book for anyone new to this world and looking for answers!
