Loads of information I needed Jan 15, 2011
By Saintsfan
I purchased this book to get a better understanding of my son. I learned a great deal. Not all of it was my son's character or behavior but I can certainly appreciate this book and have lent it out twice.

A True Survival Kit! Oct 24, 2010
By Hannah8700
My cousin is the author of this wonderful piece of writing, and though I may be somewhat biased I learned so much by reading this book. There's a saying about how you don't really know someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes. I thought that J.D. did an excellent job in helping people to truly appreciate how a person with Asperger's Syndrome feels and the challenges that they face each and every day. He makes you think differently about teenagers and the thousands of others who have successfully coped with AS and other forms of autism, helping the reader to appreciate that they're all just people, people who are just like everybody else, and that they have feelings and dreams too. I really learned a lot about my cousin as a person and my heart was truly touched when I read about all of the things he had to overcome, both in and out of school. People today have so many misconceptions about autism and because of that they "label" and often bully those who suffer from it due to their ignorance and lack of understanding. This book addresses many of those misconceptions and could really help young people today to better understand people with AS and why they do and say certain things. Teens with AS and parents alike can all benefit a great deal from reading this book. It will truly prove to be a survival kit!

 Good information Oct 10, 2010
By Barbara Sliter
The book details the many challenges J.D. faced in school and importantly, what J.D. personally found helpful in dealing with them. You also get a good picture of the kind of support parents and schools can provide to make life easier for Aspie teens. The book gives you an appreciation of the effort and dedication that is required and of what is possible as you learn how this particular teen matured in his ability to deal with challenges through time.

Great for Adults and Teenagers Alike Jun 19, 2011
By Val
I'm a special education teacher, mostly of students with social/emotional disabilities, often with Asperger's Syndrome. One of my students was reading this book, and she enjoyed it so much that I decided to check it out myself. It's a great guide, filled with advice on surviving as an Aspie teen. My only criticism is that it almost makes survival as as Aspie teen sound easy. Although JD does mention having meltdowns and general difficulty at times within the book, it seems to almost brush over that and makes it seem like the skills and strategies that he offers are simple to follow through with. That said, I found it to be a great read, and I plan to keep it in my classroom for other students and teachers who may benefit from it as well.
