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!

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.

Excellent

This book is excellent (even better than Tony Attwood's previous book).
Dr. Attwood has more experience diagnosing and treating persons with Asperger's
Syndrome than anyone else I know of, and the special undertanding he has gained
from working with them shows in this book. If you want to understand Asperger's
and you have time to only read one book, this is the book to read!

This is THE book to read about Asperger's Syndrome

Tony Attwood is THE world renown expert in the subject of Asperger's Syndrome--a form of high functioning Autism. "The Complete Book of Asperger's Syndrome" is his latest and best book yet. If you are going to buy only one book on the subject, this is the book to buy.

I am the wife of a high functioning Asperger adult. Tony's book covers both children and adults and is one of the few books that acknowledges that AS continues into adulthood. It explains HOW it affects the individual at all ages AND how it affects those around them.

We have to date purchased 7 copies of this book--one for ourselves and the rest for various professionals such as teachers and counselors we know. We feel strongly that every professional that comes into contact with an Asperger individual needs to read this book. It should be thoroughly read, reread, and thought about!

Tony's new book is one of the few to address the marriage relationship as it relates to AS spouses. In MY opinion, the book only shortcoming is the book does NOT address how difficult it is to be the spouse of an Asperger person. That is the sole reason I did not give it a 5 star rating. However, Tony is the best and this is his best book yet.

Excellent description of presentation and treatment

This is a very well written and thorough description of Asperger's Syndrome. It is much more complete than his previous book (Asperger's Syndrome A Guide for Parents and Professionals). Reading this book will give you a better sense of the range of this disorder and its various presentations. In addition to the description of the syndrome, there are many helpful ideas on treatment. These are directed to professionals but many can be implemented by parents. Resources and other readings about Asperger's are plentiful. I highly recomend this to anyone interested in Asperger's Syndrome.
