Summary: Great Book
Comment: I have a 7 year old who is ASD and possibly my 10 year old who is currently going through the assessment process.
I go to a support group for parents/carers of children with speech, language and communication difficulties and we have just started our own library of books. The LEA advisor for SLCD recommended this book and I can see why.
The thing I like about it is that you can dip in and out of it and use it as a point of reference. I am going to return this to the group library and buy a copy of my own.

Summary: Very Practical Book, Isn't It!?
Comment: I'm sure this book is very useful for adults with Asperger Syndrome as well as kids with AS and parents with AS children! The main reason is that this work is quite easy to understand and practical. Although I'm still single, I can see that raising AS and/or autistic children has been very stressful for their parents. Ordinary parenting doesn't always work when it comes to dealing with people with AS and other developmental disabilities. I think it is because this is exactly what ordinary people have never experienced before, which makes them harder to cope with. Certainly, most developmentally challenged people seem or look almost the same as any other people around them. However, they have been feeling different and distant from ordinary people, which is likely to lead to social inferiority and low self-confidence. I'm not the exception because I was diagnosed as ADHD and PDD(=Pervasive Developmental Disorder) when I was 34.
That's why I strongly feel that Parenting a Child With Asperger Syndrome: 200 Tips and Strategies will apply to my daily life. I know it is so difficult to carry out 100% of what is written in this book. But I'll try my best to cope with my difficulties in my life by comprehending gradually what she is driving at.

Summary: Written with Respect and Understanding
Comment: I have Asperger's Syndrome, an adult and married. I highly recommend ths book for adults too.
Unlike most books on Asperger's Syndrome, Berenda Boyd shows a great deal of respect, understanding and acceptance of Asperger's Syndrome. Brenda really knows what she is talking about.
I especially like the very end of the book REPORT FROM PLANET ASPERGER which I always take with me where ever I am in the world. This shows people with Asperger's in their true light. Planet Asperger "would probably be kinder, safer and more truthful than this world" & "But perhaps the most special feature of all on Planet Asperger is the great respect given to children and their values."
I also liked how she compared Asperger's to Neuro Typicals akin to comparing trains to cars.
I highly recommend this book and think it is worth every penny.

Summary: A godsend
Comment: My 4-year-old has recently received a preliminary diagnosis of AS. I borrowed this book from the library by chance and it is so brilliant and practical and positive that I'm just logging on to Amazon at the moment to buy loads more copies for family, friends and teachers. Not only does it help you understand how your child thinks and feels but it provides very specific tips on dealing with AS behaviour which is working wonders on my daughter after just a month. Brenda Boyd - if you happen to read this - I want to say a very sincere and heartfelt thank you for changing my life and my daughter's.
