http://www.specialneeds.com/books.asp?id=24021 offers a
glimpse of a book that my HMO MD just shared with me, as she
knows I'm Aspie and her 8yr-old son is also Aspie. Having an
MD who knows about AS has made my interaction with her so
very different than with any other MD.

She's not treating me for Asperger's, but she takes time to let me
catch up as we discuss health problems that a 63yr-old woman
of massive size has after decades of avoiding health-care
providers. She's great!

Here are some comments from the site cited above:

There is a great deal of truth in humor. If you have only just
begun to discover why someone with Asperger's syndrome is
different, this book will inform and entertain you. The
descriptions provide an accurate balance between the qualities
and difficulties associated with Asperger's syndrome, while the
photographs will make the journey of discovery enjoyable and
remarkable. --Tony Attwood, author of Asperger's Syndrome and

All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome - by Kathy Hoopmann - takes
a playful look at Asperger Syndrome (AS), drawing inspiration
from the feline world in a way that will strike a chord with all
those who are familiar with AS.

Delightful color photographs of cats bring to life familiar
characteristics such as sensitive hearing, scampering at the first
sign of being stroked, and particular eating habits. Touching,
humorous and insightful, this book evokes the difficulties and
joys of raising a child who is different and leaves the reader with
a sense of the dignity, individuality, and potential of people with
AS.

This engaging book is an ideal, gentle introduction to the world
of AS.

The one thing I notice most about cats, and respect them for, is
their independence. It's a funny thing because this is also what I
notice about my Aspie friends. In fact, I see this in my own life as
well. It's a unique quality that sets us apart from most other
humans. Just like cats are not like dogs. I mean we wouldn't
want them to be, would we? Kathy's humorous book that
highlights the unique qualities of individuals with Asperger's has
us "down to a T".--Wendy Lawson

This is a mainstream book that might grace any coffeetable
anywhere. Asperger's is not a secret anymore. We're definitely
out of the closet. Rejoice!
