Gives advice I want my teenager to hear
When I picked up Jerry's book I had a hard time putting it down. I am a parent of an adolescent with AS and have been "winging it" for most of his life. No books for parents were ever written on the subject until 1999. I've relied on my own parenting experience of neurotypical children and professional autism journals to figure out what to do. Now that I'm preparing my child to be "launched" into college, having a life handbook that he can rely on is very important. Jerry's book is very concrete with common sense information, and an attitude about life that I hope my own son will adopt. I can recommend this book to any person on the spectrum, and also to parents of children age 11 to adulthood. Sometimes when you are feeling most challenged as a parent of an AS preteen or teen, it is very helpful to remind you where you are heading!

A must for everyone
Jerry's book is a must read for everyone! His outlook on life is so honest and a tell it like it is experience. His sense of humor is on going all through the book, you can laugh with him and also feel his pain and frustration in some situations. I have been to a few of his lectures in the past, and I must say that he always receives a standing ovation. This book is another standing ovation for Jerry! Well done and very enjoyable to read. A book that is hard to put down.

A wonderful guide for living!
Great job Jerry! This book is a wonderful insight of living life on the Autism Spectrum. Jerry tells of lots of lessons he has learned through his life for those on and off of the spectrum. The humor throughout the book just adds the "cherry on the sunday." Strongly recommended!!!
