Are you an Aspie? November 2, 2007
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
I find it hard to believe there is only one review for this book! I am an undiagnosed Aspie and I found this book to be beyond belief. OK, I haven't read the whole book and I've started about 5 others on AS. I guess it comes with the territory.
What I am saying is that if you're an Aspie and you want to see how your mind works, in words, right before your eyes then take a look at just the first 50 pages. I've had many professionals (6 - 20) try to help me with very little success, learned of AS about a year ago, and none of them can hold a candle to Valerie. I am awe-struck; she is special!
Calling All Adults on the a/A Spectrum! October 13, 2007
10 out of 14 found this review helpful
If you are an adult on the autism/Asperger's spectrum, be sure to make this book a very close friend. You will be very glad that you did.
We all know that Asperger's, which is a neurobiological condition that is the spectrum partner to autism does not vanish once a person reaches voting age. We all know that it is long past time good books with a plethora of resources and helpful information for adults on the spectrum hit the shelves.
This power-packed book is replete with information about applying the cognitive approach towards isolating and, hopefully elmininating spectrum behavior. Adults on the a/A spectrum will more than likely recognize themselves and use this book to empower themselves in navigating social settings with neurotypical counterparts.
This book is truly a Godsend and one I highly recommend. Be sure to add Jerry Newport's book, "Your Life is Not a Label" to your collection as well. Any adult on the spectrum will certainly be able to count on these books!
