An excellent book overall that takes a clear look at what it means to live and deal with an Asperger's child throughout the `school age' years. Family histories lend weight to the theoretical methods suggested and ideas for home educating these special children and teenagers are clearly stated. Of real use are the websites and games giving activities that are particularly suited to Aspergers children. The ideas and suggestions are excellent. A book I would recommend for its straight forward approach and ideas. -- Education Otherwise
