Book Reviews of Can I Tell You About Asperger Syndrome?: A Guide for Friends and Family

Book Review: Amazing read for ALL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this book soon after my son was diagnosed as being an Aspie. It was a quick read that produced so many "Aha!" moments. The book is very "non-threatening", with pictures and written in the voice of a child, so I let my son (7-years-old at the time) read it. He seemed very satisfied, almost relieved, to find a "reason" for personal quirks he thought made him "different". I then passed the book to multiple family members and they, too, each had their own "Aha!" moments. This is not the book for technical terms or case studies, but it is a great introduction to an array of Aspie characteristics.

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.
