4.0 out of 5 stars More for teens than adults Mar 10 2011
By Valkau - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a very comprehensive workbook that could be a lot of fun for teens but ho-hum for adults unless they've had an extremely sheltered sexual life. It is quite explicit and far more practical than what I ever read as a teenager myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Asperger's Understood, Applied for Adolescents Sep 14 2007
By Selima Winchester - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is a great Asperger's book for counselors, family and especially teenagers. It covers the whole spectrum of symptoms and treatment and focuses on the sexual questions that a teenager or young adult might not feel free to discuss. It is respectful of their natural sexuality and the problems that may arise out of their inability to find release for their sexual desires. It is a reassuring and positive book about life's full potential for those suffering from this often undiagnosed developmental disorder. A great addition to the wide spectrum of books on Aspergers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Resource for Professionals and Parents of those with Asperger's Disorder Feb 17 2012
By vantagepointtx - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I work with individuals who have AS and found this to be a relevant and informative book. I think that this book is also a good resource for family members as well, because it is easy to read and it can help give them an understanding of sexual problems that may take place. It is well-written and interesting, and I have used it to help my practice and the clients that I serve.
