| While this book didn't give me, a parent of an aspergian child, any "tips" on how to deal with my son, it certainly helped me to relate to him a whole lot better than before reading it! The unabashed style used by Robison, while creating something of a "bumpy" reading path (he's not a poet, and some things were written out of chronological order), helps you to actual "get inside the head" of someone with AS, and that's a miracle! After reading this book, I was better able to understand some of my son's "quirks" as being a symptom of AS, and something that we were going to have to work with instead of trying to eliminate. |
