I hear it recommended often for people trying to learn about AS, which can be sneaky; one of D's 'odd' students last year turned out to be an Aspy (term her family used), and he didn't spot it until mostly through the year. What I got out of the book is: 1) Everybody could use a bit more patience and multiple channels of communication directed at them and 2) Utilize all end runs available - don't accept given parameters of life if you don't want to. We listened to it on audiotape, and it was quite compelling. Good to hear some details about the Spring Project; I forgive myself now for being swept away by expectations, I was young and D's family wanted a reunion. But I would have done things Much Smaller and Quirkier now. We also enjoyed Curious Incident - and D found it helpful in dealing with a declared Asperger’s Syndrome student in his class at the time.
