"I thought that this was an excellent, very down-to-earth resource.
Most books give symptoms and treatments for Asperger’s, however, very few give down-to-earth proven ideas for working with and training Asperger’s parents in working with their own children.
Our 8-yr-old daughter has Asperger’s, and I have been looking for help like this for years to be able to help her cope and to minimize and avoid the meltdowns she experiences…
When you’ve ever wanted a happier, peaceful and more fulfilled life for you and your child with Asperger’s or ASD then this could be the most important letter you ever read.
So often the hopes and dreams you have for your child on the spectrum can end up shattered and smashed into tiny pieces…
Not a day goes by when I don’t receive an email from a tired and frustrated mom at the end of her tether asking me…
In fact I recently received an email from a very desperate mum (Chrissy) who was really being put through the ringer by her son (Paul).
* Poor sleep pattern – Where Chrissy had to move heaven and earth every single night just to get Paul to bed (for even just a few hours sleep.) * Explosive behaviors – Paul would regularly lash out at Chrissy, as well as his young sister, for no apparent good reason. * Being ignored – Paul would always act like he "knew best" and whatever his mum said was wrong (often he would just completely "blank her" when she was trying to talk to him).

Now I hate to see any parents in such a distressed state … So I was anxious to help… I spoke with Chrissy and to my horror was told that Paul was on 2 very strong anti-psychotic medications (and he’s only a kid for goodness sakes!)… And he had already seen FIVE different doctors (none of which had offered hope or inspiration to poor old Chrissy and Paul). During several years of medical catastrophe; Paul had been rattling like a pill box with all the damaging drugs he’d been taking.
