Full Of Humorous Pictures & Expressions on AS!September 16, 2008 At first, I just wondered why cats appear in this book because I wasn't quite sure what cats had to do with Asperger Syndrome. But, on second thought, Kathy Hoopmann might help parents with AS kids increase their understanding. Even adults with AS are sure to see what AS is like because she illustrated AS not only by words but pictures! We can't put down this book just because it's for kids only! If possible, I'd have liked her to explain in advance why she associated cats with AS.

Cats do not have Asperger's SyndromeAugust 10, 2008 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
I have Asperger's Syndrome and can not recommend this book.
This book has very little to do with what it is like to have Asperger's Syndrome and what it is like to live in a world of Neuro Typicals. Kathy Hoopmann is clueless about what is like being an Asperger and shows us Asperger's no respect or understanding.
On the whole, Cats are nothing like a person with Asperger's. The only thing that cats and Asperger's may have in common is that we both like our privacy. My expereince with cats is that they like to be cuddled and are extremely good at picking-up social cues which is one of the biggest problems us Asperger's have living in a Neuro Typical world.
As an Asperger, in my opinion this is one of the worst books on the subject of Asperger's Syndrome and is a complete waste of money.

i must admit i thought the book would be very detail and not mostly pictures and bold writing. i found it poetic and it would be good to use with young children.
What a fantastic book!July 18, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has a wonderful way of explaining what Aspergers Syndrome is about. I am not only a mother to a young boy with possible Aspergers (going through the diagnosis process at present) but I am also a Registered nurse for people with a Learning Disability and i have found this book very informative but in a light-hearted way.
I have shown this book to my sons school and they are going to order it and I will be purchasing further copies for his Grandmas as well. It has also helped me to explain to my daughter why her brother is like he is without making it too complicated for her.
