All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome Review
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. User Submitted All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome ReviewsDecember 31, 2008 Cute. As a special education teacher and a cat lover, I certainly agree that cats have autism. The book is cute and a little silly, but certainly nothing profound. December 14, 2008 Impressive to a skeptic My husband liked this book even though he has been reluctant to accept our daughter's AS. I plan to send a copy to school and keep one on hand to help others who enter our life to understand our daughter's endearing yet odd behaviors. We have not read it with our daughter yet but find it interesting that our daughter is obsessed with cats. I look forward to her reaction. November 30, 2008 All cats have aspergers This is a great book for children and young teens with Asperger's and can provide a fun, fresh view for caregivers as well. November 12, 2008 book review Totally awesome way to introduce the topic of Aspbergers to someone. Completely appropriate way to open discussion with a child who feels different and affirm understanding of that difference. At the most superficial level is just a cute read,well done. November 4, 2008 Great tool for explaining Asperger's to my 6 year old I loved this book. My son was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome earlier this year. I was looking for books for me and came across this one. After the doctor's appointment where the doctor explained to him that he had Asperger's, we came home and we read this book. It is written in very simple terms and essentially equates some cat qualities with Asperger's qualities (like to be alone, do their own thing, etc). It really puts a positive spin on it. I think it would be good for a 5 year old to a 9 year old. My son took a bit of time, and a lot of discussions with us, to get his head around what Asperger's means, and this book helped a lot. I highly recommend it. October 18, 2008 Kudos from another author I am an author with the same publisher as Ms. Hoopmann. I have to say that, in sixty-odd pages, she manages to make the points that it took me two books to make. October 13, 2008 Amazing Book! I am truly saddened to see some of these negative reviews here for a book that is so highly treasured in my house. I purchased it for my six year old son with Asperger's Syndrome and he simply adores it. I think it serves as a very helpful tool in explaining to a young child what the symptoms of Asperger's are and help them to recognize their own behaviors. We also have "Of Mice and Aliens" and nobody does it better than Kathy Hoopman. She is the perfect voice of reason in helping Aspie kids understand and cope with their situation. October 1, 2008 Would have been better -without the cats I bought it for use with a classroom and found it hard to explain the connection- between cats and aspergers. A book that presented facts- without the cats- would have suited this purpose better. That being said it has good information and works well for adults who do not know alot about Aspergers. September 23, 2008 A Wonderful Book for Explaining Aspergers All Cats have Asperger's Syndrome is a fantastic book for helping your child understand Aspergers. It's also a great read for a public school or church class that is trying to understand a student with AS. My 9 yo Aspie grandson read it to his Sunday School class, and all of the kids were much more open and caring towards him once they understood what he was dealing with and why he sometimes behaves the way he does. I highly recommend this book! Viki Stanley-Hutchison, cambridgecoachingco.com August 29, 2008 Lovely Book This book describes what it is like to have Asperger's Syndrome with disarmingly simple language and adorable photos of kittens. Great for kids and adults. An absolutely lovely and well-crafted book! For more All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome reviews click here.
