The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome - By: Ms. M. Jones, 07 Feb 2008 
This remarkable book gives an incredibly clear account of asperger's & its impact on people around them. It is easy to read yet gives the most profound insights & cause for joy & optimism. A diagnosis of Aspergers is not the end of the world but a way of accessing the genius & talents that can go with it. If you know people who may be on the autistic spectrum it gives you a way of understanding & enjoying them & seeing the truth beneath a way of being that can make people hard to know. Reading the book has been an eyeopener for me, I have always enjoyed being with unusual people & now understand why.
The Complete Guide to Asperger Syndrome - By: A nonny mouse, 29 Dec 2007 When we were at the assessment stage this book reallly helped me to recognise what my child's problem was. It has so much information, & I have reread it several times.
The Asperger's Bible - Truly a Godsend! - By: BeatleBangs1964, 10 Aug 2007 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 & 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 alll the more excellent & 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 & words of wisdom help lighten the load.
I have bought several copies of this book & have kept one for myself & gave the others to professionals in dire need of it. This book deserves a place of high honor & 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 challlenges. Still, it is heartwarming; uplifting & 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 & raise our glasses to Dr. Attwood!
Just one book... make it this one. - By: Suz, 02 Feb 2007 I have read lots of books on AS & 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 & 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, & the author's respect & 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.
Detailed - By: J. Jack, 24 Nov 2006 5 out of 5 for being a very detailed analysis. Very up to date information on what is still a poorly understood diagnosis. The best way to describe this book is simply by the title "The COMPLETE GUIDE to Asperger's Syndrome". In my view it is somewhat academic so probably best bought with another book on AS.
