 Great book! Sep 17, 2009
I got this book on my quest to understand my two new Asperger's students whom I am tutoring. I homeschooled my own son, have taught in the classroom, but just was curious to see what made these kids tick. What a great book!
I flipped first to 'What is Behavior/ What is Asperger's?', and just loved the author's clarity. Children must be taught manners and behaviors that will enable them to get along in human society; these kids are no exception. They will also rise to the challenge of demands made upon them, to the level they are capable of. Better to challenge and push them than to let them rest on their 'laurels'/ diagnoses.
I highly recommend this book. It is very down to earth, and the author has good clarity about her own struggles and what worked for her. She has achieved so much in her own life, pushing against and overcoming these very real obstacles. This book confirmed, for me, my hunches to challenge these two students and to hold them accountable to my high standards.
The Way I See It, I Love It! Sep 11, 2009

Understanding Aspergers Jun 23, 2009
"The Way I See It" is for every non-medical person who deals with, or want to understand what it means when terms such as Autism and Asperger's are being used. One of our Grandchildren has been identified with this condition and I greatly appreciate the help the book has given us to understand and try to help the child.Temple Grandin has all the knowledge to write it and the book is highly recommended.
Clears the clouds for the Asperger's family. Jun 18, 2009
What a great book for family members of someone with Asperger's. Someone close to me had had a preliminary diagnosis of this when he was very young, but because the parents viewed this kind of issue as an embarrassing affliction, dealing with it and helping him was shelved for most of his life.
When someone in the family has Asperger's, the entire family has it. This is not a condition in which just the sufferer suffers.
Reading this book was a revelation; I spent easily half the book nodding and saying, yes, that's it! Trying to understand, accept and help the Asperger's person is not easy at all, as so many can attest. But not being able to even address that the person even has it makes it practically impossible to come to terms with the problem.
I read several chapters, and would speak on the phone to family members who are saddened by the direction this young man's life has taken, since his parents didn't believe (or more to the point, wouldn't accept) that he had this condition.
It's never too late to help, and this book has gone a long way toward making Asperger's part of the family's vocabulary. I have a list of family members lined up to read this, and the mere fact that I'm hearing the same kind of "ah ha!" moments from them just reinforces how important this book is.
I highly, highly recommend it.
Great read May 22, 2009
I love Temple Grandin anyway, but her insight is the best around. This book is helpful and educational.
