Meet Adam - a young boy with AS. Adam invites young readers to learn about AS from his perspective. In this book, Adam helps children understand the difficulties faced by a child with AS; he tells them what AS is, what it feels like to have AS and how they can help children with AS by understanding their differences and appreciating their many talents. This book is ideally suited for boys and girls between 7 and 15 years old and also serves as an excellent starting point for family and classroom discussions. |

Excellent way to educate friends / family |
When our son was diagnosed with Aspergers 4 years ago, I bought dozens of books on the subject. This one has been the best way to help educate family and close friends. It is NOT intended to be an in depth resource.
We read through it with our son, then 9, and edited it to explain his personal quirks and interests. (We just wrote in his personal quirks, or crossed out what he felt didn't apply). We then shared it with grandparents, aunts, and uncles. Over the years, there have been a few good friends we have shared the book with as well, and it has been an excellent resource. |

A great compassionate perspective |
|
I really enjoyed this simple yet very compassionate perspective of a reality not that well understood. I live with NVLD ( a common attribute of Asperger's ) and it is wonderful to read a simple story that can help relationships flow easier. Every teacher and every class room should own a copy of this simple book, it is simple and very informative, I am very glad to have read it, it is a great resource, thanks! |

Great educational tool |
|
My 8 year old Asperger daughter related to the boy in the book. She claimed, "He does some of the same things I do." I've shared the book with friends, family, school students and personnel. A quick easy way to educate those not familiar with Asperger's. Illustrates some common issues that Asperger kid's have to face and the resultant behavior. |

Good basic book in very simple language |
|
It is important to remember with any book you purchase regarding Aspergers and Autism that people on the Autism spectrum are not "cookie-cutter-cases". Each person is an individual and no book will cover ALL aspects. This book is written in a childs voice and is very easy to understand. Are you going to walk away from reading it profoundly enlightened? No. Are you going to have a more simplistic understanding of the day to day situations and life of a child with Asp? Yes. I purchased this book for my son's grandparents, his older brother and for him. It gives him a voice and something to relate too (not on all issues, but most). The book is extremely easy to read and fast. I read through the entire book in under an hour while helping my son with his homework. A great addition to your personal and lending library. |
