Editorial Review:
For parents of children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) ordinary care and parenting just doesn't always do it - AS kids need a different approach. Brenda is mother to eleven-year-old Kenneth Hall, author of Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything, and since his diagnosis at the age of eight she has gathered together the parenting ideas and tips that have had a positive effect on Kenneth's life. Among other aspects, Brenda discusses parents' reaction to their child's AS, from pre-diagnosis to acceptance of the condition, and gives advice on how parents can better understand 'Planet Asperger'. With an extensive section of practical tips for issues such as anger management and communication, this book will help parents to respond positively to the challenge of AS and find the 'treasure' in their child's way of being.

This is a good guide for assisting a parent with a child that has been diagnosed as Autistic or Asperger Syndrome. Currently one in every 150 children in North America are diagnosed with this condition. Parents need all the help that can get to deal with it and this book has some of those answers. My autistic angel is a joy to have as part of my life but he does need to be handled differently than his siblings. This book helps.
Rating:  - EXCELLENT TIPS
I've read a LOT of books on Autism and on Asperger's in the last 6 years. This one gets an A+. It's a fast read and has a lot of clear and concise tips to implement in additional ways that us inventive and creative parents may not have thought of already, or if you've hit a dead end and need some help!
EXCELLENT!!

It is great in that it has heaps of ideas on how to handle a situation and ideas that are acutally useable and don't take up ages to implement. The beginning section of the book is great as a parent to help you realise you are not to blame, or alone. Also that what you feel is "normal" in this crazy world that we have landed in. ...

Rating:  - Not my favorite
Our 4-year-old son was recently diagnosed with Asperger's and I've been looking for books to help us understand and help him with certain aspects. I will keep this one around for future reference as it is set up prefect for quick reference. I just didn't care for it much. I wish I could explain why. Maybe I just couldn't connect to the author.
It may be more useful as we come upon certain problems but it didn't help us understand much at this point. I would probably not recommend this book ... Read More
