26 of 27 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: What It Is to Be Me!: An Asperger Kid Book (Paperback) Children and adults alike need to read this book. Most folks have no clue how unique and special Asperger characteristics are. Relatives and friends of individuals blessed with A.S. may not be willing to do research or even read a book, but this is so simple and in two minutes it can help a stranger to the situation realize how A.S. individuals contribute and make a precious contribution to humanity. Mrs. Wine may not have a PhD, but she knows more about this subject than any doctor. A loving mother and advocate, Mrs. Wine simplifies the often complex, misunderstood, mysterious behavior of the otherwise "obnoxious" appearance of A.S. to educate and disarm the ignorant.A must. 19 of 19 people found the following review helpful By Sara Petersen (Vancouver, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: What It Is to Be Me!: An Asperger Kid Book (Paperback) This book helped my daughter understand WHY she was different than her classmates, and to figure out that it wasn't necessarily a bad thing. I just wish the book was a little longer. It is a short book, only about a dozen pages long, but it did open a conversation that we had been needing to have. It was kind of amusing, in a heart-wrenching way, to see her defiantly declare on seeing the book, "I'm not Asperger's!", then on almost every single page, say softly, "Oh....I do that." By the end, she realized that yes, she WAS autistic, but it didn't have to be a bad thing, just different, and this book reinforces that idea. The last page says, "But Asperger's is what makes me....ME!!!" 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful By T and M (Santee, CA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: What It Is to Be Me!: An Asperger Kid Book (Paperback) This book expreses in simple terms just what it is to be an Asperger Kid. Angelia uses simple words and delightful illustrations to get her idea across. It is a must have book for all who deal with Aspergers or wish other could understand. |
