 From the first word, I was hooked! January 4, 2009
I loved the humor in this book, and the compassion. I bought the parentsdigest summary first and couldn't wait to get the book! I've never read a better book on the subject of Autism and other spectrum disorders. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has a child, or even friend or loved one who has a child, with Autism, Aspergers, or PDD-NOS!

I LOVED this book and I dont even like to read! I couldnt put it down. I loved that it was written so that it comes from the child. What MY son might want ME to know. She did use some words that are hard to understand, but I thought it was a great book for anyone who wants to know what your kid might want to say. I just cant say enough about it... love, love, love it!!!

This book is excellent. There were many things I read in the book that were sort of "ah hah" moments for me. This book hit very close to home on many aspects. Thanks for such a great book!
Greatest book on autism ever!!! November 24, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is, hands down, the greatest book on autism ever. before the end of chapter one, I had a deep and profound understanding of why my nephew does some of the things he does. It's so uplifting and enlightening to hear it as if from the mouth of a child who suffers through this.
I particularly enjoy the way the author expresses the hardships of the condition in a positive manner and allows me to see more than the limitations it imposes. I believe that I, and my family, will benefit greatly from this book and it will definitely be a stocking stuffer for everyone in the immediate family. I wish it was required reading, not just for those dealing with children who have autism. I believe it could help everyone to learn a little empathy and truly see the world through someone else' eyes.
Very useful for parents and grandparents alike November 2, 2008

I am a father of a child with Autism on the lower spectrum. I think anyone in my position should be reminded of the challenges these little guys and girls face each day. Some have it harder than others and not all characteristics exist in every child with Autism but it certainly is helpful to know "why" your child is behaving a certain way or not responding appropriately to "time-outs" (for example) as your other children may.
My favorite parts of the book talk about the importance of building your child's self-esteem and teaching him to cope with the world including other children who may tease or ridicule him. Self-esteem will help anyone in life but particularly these children who are faced with more challenges than the rest of us.
I highly recommend this book as it will bring these excellent points into your consciousness the next time your child is struggling and you will deal with the situation more appropriately.
