Editorial Review:
All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome takes a playful look at Asperger Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration from the feline world in a way that will strike a chord with all those who are familiar with AS.
Delightful color photographs of cats bring to life familiar characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first sign of being stroked and particular eating habits.
Touching, humorous and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and joys of raising a child who is different and leaves the reader with a sense of the dignity, individuality and potential of people with AS.
This engaging book is an ideal, gentle introduction to the world of AS.

Rating:  - All Cat's have Asperger Syndrome
This is an excellent selection for anyone who has a loved one or friend who has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. It is remarkably written and the cats make it easier for young people as well as older folks to understand the behavioral differences that invade the life of a child with Asperger. Our grandson who is 13 was recently diagnosed and I at first thought NO WAY!! then I saw the different behaviors that a child has with Asperger and it was like an EYE OPENER!! I recommend this book ... Read More
Rating: - Meow, Hooray & At Last!
Ten years ago, when I finally figured out what Asperger's was and, at the same time, I discovered that I had several Asperger's children, and a few Asperger's adults, on my caseload as a psychotherapist, I began searching for easy ways to explain Asperger's. It was, and still is, an uphill struggle.
I'd already found what, to my knowledge, remains one of the best general books on Asperger's Syndrome: Tony Attwood's Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals. It's great ... Read More
Rating: - it made all the difference
I stopped at a book store after receiving my son's diagnosis of AS. I was looking for a book by Tony Atwood and stumbled across "All Cats..." It was a godsend. That evening when I told my son that we finally knew what was "different" about him, he and I read this book together. He was 8 at the time. If I were a millionaire I would buy this book and have every psychologist in the world give it to clients when presenting the diagnosis.
Rating: - Was this book written about me, mommy?
An amazing book, written delightfully for the innocent eyes of a child. Every page is the perfect expalnation, defining Aspergers with simplicity, accuracy and delightful humor. My son asked if this book was written just for him, for he found himself in every page. Thank you Kathy Hoopmann for your beautiful heart.
Rating: - All Cats have Aspergers - An Explanation for Everyone
Unlike a lot of conditions, Aspergers isn't something that can be detected by scans. It is basically a collection of attributes which actually differ in strength and in presence from one person to another. "All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome" basically bypasses all of the technical stuff and attempts to cover each of the symptoms with a one or two line answer and an appropriate picture.
It's surprisingly detailed and accurate while still being a book you can read in under 30 minutes. It's ... Read More
