Customer Reviews

excellent book

This is an excellent book for both parents & child. This book gives a greater understanding of how to help your child transition into teen/adulthood. We are very pleased with this book.

Excellant Resource for Everyone

This book must have been written with us in mind. It confirmed things we guessed at and even pointed out things we didn't know were a result of our daughter's AS. I wish we had this book a couple years ago as a guide for making it through high school, but she has it now for college. The explanations read a bit wordy but the checklists/bulleted lists after each part make for a handy reference.
