thanx for replies,have passed it on and also bought it myself!

Asperger Syndrome - The Universe and Everything by Kenneth Hall

Is another really good one if anyone is interested... reviews copied accross from another site as they are better than I would be able to write. It really helped me understand what my son was going through.

Arlene Cassidy, Director, Parents And Professionals and Autism, the Northern Ireland Autism Charity, September 2000
Kenneth Hall writes with an innocence, sincerity and insight that perhaps only a child could. This book is essential reading for other young people with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) and those living and working with them. Kenneth describes with great honesty the difficulties he has as a result of his AS, including those at school. Yet, he remains positive about his condition and sees it as a gift. Kenneth is able to explain clearly the many emotions he feels: depression, frustration, joy and appreciation. He is also able to explain why he feels them, perhaps making the reader review their own understanding of AS

Ken P. Kerr, the Foreword
Parents, family members and professionals will find that Kenneth's story offers a fascinating insight into the life of an individual with AS...this book is a must...

Sounds good - must try and get hold of a copy

I read Luke's book and found it hard going to be honest, but still a good read.
