Summary: TRULY A GODSEND
Comment: 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!

Summary: Outstanding book for teachers, para educators, and parents
Comment: The OASIS Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is an excellent book for teachers and para educators as well as parents. It summarizes the key characteristics of persons with Asperger's Syndrome as well or better than other books I've read on the subject. There is also a clear presentation of interventions for teachers and parents to try. In addition, the book presents the "parent perspective" more thoroughly than other books on Asperger's Syndrome.
As an autism specialist for a large school district and as a former university special education faculty member, I would strongly recommend this book to teachers and para educators. In fact, if I were still teaching at the university, I would make this book required reading for my students. I currently refer teachers I work with to key sections in the guide as we create better curriculum and instruction for students with Asperger's Syndrome.
This is a book that para educators can also read and learn from. Since many students with Asperger's Syndrome are supported by para educators in classrooms, improving the skills of para educators is critical. This book can fill that role.
This well written book provides a common point for parents, teachers, and para educators to talk about students with Asperger's Syndrome and develop instructional programs at school and at home.

Summary: the best Asperger's book I've read!
Comment: 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.
