 Rating: - The Complete Guide to Asperger's SyndromeThis remarkable book gives an incredibly clear account of asperger's and its impact on people around them. It is easy to read yet gives the most profound insights and cause for joy and optimism. A diagnosis of Aspergers is not the end of the world but a way of accessing the genius and talents that can go with it. If you know people who may be on the autistic spectrum it gives you a way of understanding and enjoying them and seeing the truth beneath a way of being that can make people hard to know. Reading the book has been an eyeopener for me, I have always enjoyed being with unusual people and now understand why. Rating: - The Complete Guide to Asperger SyndromeWhen we were at the assessment stage this book really helped me to recognise what my child's problem was. It has so much information, and I have reread it several times. Rating: - The Asperger's Bible - Truly a Godsend!Dr. Attwood is the leading expert on Asperger's Syndrome (AS) which is the spectrum partner to autism. This book is, at the time of this review his most current work. It is a shining gem and one of the standouts in autism/Asperger's (a/A) literature. If you are on the a/A continuum or know somebody who is, this book is your best friend. You will refer to it many times. What makes this book all the more excellent and distinct is that Dr. Attwood discusses adults on the a/A spectrum as well. Autism in its myriad forms including AS does not clear up once a person hits adulthood. If you have it, it is with you for the long haul. Dr. Attwood's book and words of wisdom help lighten the load. I have bought several copies of this book and have kept one for myself and gave the others to professionals in dire need of it. This book deserves a place of high honor and no parent; professional; person on the spectrum; anybody involved with a person/people on the spectrum should go without this book. I was delighted to see a section devoted to intersensory marriage, that is of a neurotypical (NT) person to somebody on the a/A continuum. I would like to see more coverage of this much needed topic as AS presents a wide array of social challenges. Still, it is heartwarming; uplifting and encouraging to see more information devoted to intersensory marriages. I agree with other reviewers who say Dr. Attwood is the best - I think we should propose a toast and raise our glasses to Dr. Attwood! Rating: - Just one book... make it this one.I have read lots of books on AS and reviewed many of them. What I am always warning is that in most cases any one book never gives a complete picture. Tony Attwood's book though is about as complete a picture as you could get right now and is not only far superior to his first guide to the subject but to many others on the market. If you read just one book on AS this should be it. It is easy to read, packed with information, and the author's respect and appreciation for people with Asperger's is evident on every page. It's professional, it's factual, it's understanding, it's worth owning a copy. Rating: - Detailed5 out of 5 for being a very detailed analysis. Very up to date information on what is still a poorly understood diagnosis. The best way to describe this book is simply by the title "The COMPLETE GUIDE to Asperger's Syndrome". In my view it is somewhat academic so probably best bought with another book on AS.  Try searching the Internet for "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome" or Ebay for "The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome". You might also be interested in the following great products:
