Product description

Review

When my daughter Stephanie was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, I felt I was starting at square one. My daughter had also been diagnosed with a kidney disease at birth but we got the diagnosis when she was 7, and I felt like I had a new child. One name kept coming up during the initial stages of my research: Tony Attwood. His book, Aspergers Syndrome - A Guide for Parents and Professionals was the first I read and though I have read many more since, I can say his is the best one. My daughters school district was as unfamiliar as I was with Aspergers at first, so, along with other resources, I loaned them the book. The school psychologist said it really helped him to understand and plan a behaviour modification plan for Stephanie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and practical advice
Reviewed in Australia on 11 August 2015
Considering the rather overwhelming amount of information and advice, often conflicting, available on this subject, the author did a tremendous job of distilling the data and making it palatable and helpful.

This is an easy read and has some great practical information. I would recommend to all parents and carers of a child with Aspergers. In fact I think older siblings and others should read it too!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very well written and easy to read book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2016
Verified Purchase
A very well written and easy to read book. Not a book for professionals, but written for parents and relatives of somebody who may have this condition. Gives a good insight as to how the affected individual may feel and think and also offers solutions to everyday problems experienced by somebody living with an aspergers sufferer. The book also explains behaviour which to the outsider may appear inappropriate or unreasonable, but once you have read this book you start to understand how and why this behaviour occurs. This in turn helps you to look for solutions and to offer support more easily to the sufferer. Aspergers Syndrome is not an easy condition to live with, either for the sufferer or the people in contact with them, but a little understanding and insight into the condition means that the sufferer can be helped to feel less anxious and more supported, which in turn seems to lessen some of the symptoms. A very worthwhile read for anyone who has to interact with somebody suffering from this condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful Tool To Convince Those Who Deal With People With Asperger Syndrome!
Reviewed in Japan on 28 October 2008
Verified Purchase
I have noticed Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals has motivated some parents with AS kids to understand the specifics of AS. And they must have been so relieved, if you ask me! They seemed really surprised to find most of the symptoms applied to their AS kids in this book. Although Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals isn't as informative as his most recent book, The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome, both of them will help Aspies and people dealing with them change their attitude toward AS more positively.

Neither of the books include difficult technical jargons and complicated structures. Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals seems a bit old-fashioned to me because it includes more British spellings, but that is a minor inconvenience.

Therefore, how about starting off with this book if you came across people with AS and became diagnosed with AS recently?
