This book is truly a Godsend for parents, professionals and especially for persons with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). I like the way this book is broken down into clearly written and marked chapters dealing with education, legal matters, "melt downs," parent and social issues. These authors have done the world a big service. AS is a neurological spectrum condition that is on the same spectrum as autism. AS covers a series of behaviors that often make up for "undefined differences" that persons with AS contend with.

I like the way these authors provide web sites for AS related questions and issues. This book deserves a place of honor on our book shelves, in our professional dealings and in our hearts. Cheers for this book!

When my son was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome The OASIS web site was the first place I found answers. This book provides the same user-friendly format and an abundance of helpful information.
Originally diagnosed with severe adhd and ODD I felt like there was little hope of understanding my son, until I discovered Barb Kirby and her vault of info! I am thankful for the hope this book provides... there are answers to be found, you just have to know where to look. This book guides you to them just as the site did and still does! I am now the author of The ADHD-Autism Connection, not only is the OASIS Guide listed in my recommended reading section... but I personally suggest it as the best resource available for further information on Asperger's syndrome. Thank you ladies for providing such a wonderful resource, I will continue recommending it to all my readers and anyone who asks

My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome two years ago. Of the 5-6 books devoted to Asperger's which I have read, this book is by far the BEST! It is very readable and easy for the layperson to understand and digest. Issues that were barely mentioned in other AS reference books were given time and space in the OASIS book.
