"A colleague recommended this when I was trying to understand a bit more about teens with Asperger Syndrome. I'm glad she did! It was both thought provoking and charming. I not only learned about Aspergers but picked up some more Britishisms along the way. The writing and information flow can feel a little off at times, but given that it is written by a 13 year-old with Aspergers, all is forgiven. I highly recommend this to anyone who works with, or may work with, children with Aspergers."

    " This is such a wonderful book! My son, who has Asperger's, looked at his grandmother after reading the section about school and said "That sounds like me!". When I asked him what he thought when he got done reading he said that the author sounded just like him. "

    " Written by a teen for teens, this book was very insightful. I only wish my son felt the same way. If and only if I can guide him to books as credible places for learning and NOT the internet!!! "

    " A recommended read for EVERYONE - especially parents. It gives a great insight into teens. Even though written from the perspective of a teen with Asperger Syndrome, he shares thoughts and situations that had me rethinking how I talked to, thought about and expected of my teen and pre-teen. How did I forget so much? It is also good for those working with the public and may give you a bit more patience with those that seem a bit "off" or down right crazy. "

    " Written by a 13 year old explaining his view of the world in fairly basic terms but would recommend to anyone with limited knowledge of ASDs interested in finding out about Aspergers. "

    " This is a fantastic book for anyone who has a loved one on the spectrum. My son loved reading this as well -- a place he could compare his experiences with others. "

    " A great book by a young man diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. This would be a useful book to read to a young person prior to or upon entering the middle school years (say 10 years and over). "

    " Written from the point of view of a 13 year old with ASD, this is an interesting and honest account of the everyday difficulties faced. Good to read if you live with or work with ASD kids. "

    " I was not too impressed by the book. It had been recommended to me, but did not hold through. I think I was not well fitted as a target audience. I still liked some extra information I was able to extract about asperger syndrome. "

    " I appreciate the irony of a child with Asperger's communicating to the public about his life. Difficulty with communication is one of the markers of Asperger's. The book is not a complete study of AS but very good nonetheless. "
