“Asperger’s from the Inside Out” is written by Michael John Carley, who is the Executive Director of GRASP, (The Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership). The book is meant to be a guide to life for people with Asperger’s Syndrome (“AS”) with emphasis for those who were diagnosed with AS when as adults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Carley is well qualified to write the book. He was diagnosed with AS as an adult and part of the GRASP mission is to set up support groups all over the country for adults with AS.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I read the book not because I have AS but because I’m the father of a son with AS and I thought that it might help give me a heads up on what to expect with him as he continues on his journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Carley, I think, is realistic about these kids can expect. Life for them may be difficult but there is an excellent chance they can adapt and live product, even happy, lives. They may suffer lots of rejection and reversals on the way.<\/p>\n

It is asking a lot of a book to be a guide for life for somebody with a disability and I’m not sure this book is it. I think the story of AS changes quickly and I’m not sure that books are the best way to learn. That said, I rate the this book as a 3 stars out of 4 for helping this Dad understand what my son may be in for as he continues to grow up.<\/p><\/div>\n
