Parenting a Child with Asperger Syndrome: 200 Tips and Strategies

This is a good guide for assisting a parent with a child that has been diagnosed as Autistic or Asperger Syndrome. Currently one in every 150 children in North America are diagnosed with this condition. Parents need all the help that can get to deal with it and this book has some of those answers. My autistic angel is a joy to have as part of my life but he does need to be handled differently than his siblings. This book helps.

Every parent of an AS child needs to read this book!

I loved this book. It reinforced what I already knew about AS, and added a wealth of knowledge that I have found invaluable. The strategies and tips are great. I've used them many times now...and they work!!! It was such a relief when I read this book and learned that other parents go through the exact same thing I have been going through with my son. This author really knows what she is writing about, and you can tell it is from her own personal experiences. I recommend this book to anyone who has a child they even suspect of having some type of developmental disorder.

Very Practical Book, Isn't It!?

I'm sure this book is very useful for adults with Asperger Syndrome as well as kids with AS and parents with AS children! The main reason is that this work is quite easy to understand and practical. Although I'm still single, I can see that raising AS and/or autistic children has been very stressful for their parents. Ordinary parenting doesn't always work when it comes to dealing with people with AS and other developmental disabilities. I think it is because this is exactly what ordinary people have never experienced before, which makes them harder to cope with. Certainly, most developmentally challenged people seem or look almost the same as any other people around them. However, they have been feeling different and distant from ordinary people, which is likely to lead to social inferiority and low self-confidence. I'm not the exception because I was diagnosed as ADHD and PDD(=Pervasive Developmental Disorder) when I was 34.
That's why I strongly feel that Parenting a Child With Asperger Syndrome: 200 Tips and Strategies will apply to my daily life. I know it is so difficult to carry out 100% of what is written in this book. But I'll try my best to cope with my difficulties in my life by comprehending gradually what she is driving at.

Can I Tell You About Asperger's Syndrome?

This is excellent as it is written from the viewpoint of an Asperger's person, gives an explanation, and relates situations which we all find ourselves in when we are involved with this syndrome. I'm a grandparent and purchased this book for my granddaughters as their brother has Asperger's. I read it first, gave it to my son and his wife to read, before passing it on to the grandkids. We all learned from this book, even though we have been working with professionals and educators for years. This is a must read!!!

EXCELLENT TIPS

I've read a LOT of books on Autism and on Asperger's in the last 6 years. This one gets an A+. It's a fast read and has a lot of clear and concise tips to implement in additional ways that us inventive and creative parents may not have thought of already, or if you've hit a dead end and need some help!

EXCELLENT!!

For parents of children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) ordinary care and parenting just doesn't always do it - AS kids need a different approach. Brenda is mother to eleven-year-old Kenneth Hall, author of Asperger Syndrome, the Universe and Everything, and since his diagnosis at the age of eight she has gathered together the parenting ideas and tips that have had a positive effect on Kenneth's life. Among other aspects, Brenda discusses parents' reaction to their child's AS, from pre-diagnosis to acceptance of the condition, and gives advice on how parents can better understand 'Planet Asperger'. With an extensive section of practical tips for issues such as anger management and communication, this book will help parents to respond positively to the challenge of AS and find the 'treasure' in their child's way of being.
