If we slow down and take the time to listen, there are treasures in those we find so different from ourselves...

I connected with a lot moments in this. The spinning and laughing at old memories. The difficulty at finding the right words. It made me tear up at times. It was a wonderful read.

As the grandparent of an autistic child this book highlights our duty to stick with and not ignore our precious gifts of children. Autism is a spectrum disease as is most of life’s challenges. Once you realize your job is, as a provider of an environment to help your child, you can enjoy the daily interactions with your special child.

Highly recommend this easy to read, enlightening book. I don’t quite know what else to say except that I will try to remember to be more patient with the person in my life who I believe has undiagnosed Aspergers when he’s doing annoying things... he can’t really help himself.

I really enjoyed this book. Raising a child with Autism is not easy and I learned a lot from this book. It help me better understand what my son goes through and how he sees the world. I see similarities with my son that made me smile while reading and some that made me cry. Its a great read.

The sample for this is the forward for the book. How does that tell me ANYTHING about the contents?

This book was a short, sweet, and to the point type book. I would highly recommend this book. Reading it gives you somewhat of an understanding of what someone with autism is thinking. Granted, everyone is different in his or her thinking, but it gives you a general idea. This book would benefit anyone. You never know when you are going to run into someone with autism, and being able to understand and not get frustrated with them when you are interacting with them will help both parties involved.

This is the most important book about autism I have read.

This book should be read by everyone who interacts with people with autism. It gives you a glimpse into a mind that works very differently than your own but has the same heartfelt desires as yours. it is enlightening and touching. As an OT that works with many children with autism I am going to read this book a number of times so the lessons contained in it can be fully absorbed by my mind and my soul. I am so glad this is available and I am going to share it with many others.

I read many reviews before purchasing this book. As a teacher and family member of a child on the spectrum, I decided to buy it despite several negative reviews I'm so sorry I did! This book was wholly unbelievable to me. I doubt its authenticity. It was not helpful in the least. Pass this one by.
