    5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic and appealing book on Asperger's for children
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2013
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    When my daughter was recently diagnosed with Asperger's, the first thing was to explain to her what it all meant. I looked into the various books written for children on the subject but, to my dismay, most of them included words such as 'Alien' 'Geek' 'Freak' etc. Since I wanted to reassure her that she was not 'abnormal' and that there was nothing to be ashamed of, these were not books I wanted to expose her to! I bought a copy of a book called Dude, I'm An Aspie! Kids' Edition which I thought looked fun and easy to understand but there was one mention of 'alien' in there which she became distressed about. Then I stumbled across 'All Cats Have Asperger's' and, since my daughter is a cat lover, thought I didn't have much to lose. I vetted it beforehand and thought it looked harmless enough, plus it was endorsed by our neuropsychologist. My daughter loved it from the moment she set eyes on it and kept referring to how the emotions and traits mentioned in the book were like her own. The fact that they could be linked to a cute cat did help her too on a psychological level - if people can love cats for these traits then surely they wouldn't be horrible to a human for them. I would wholeheartedly recommend this book as a good introduction to Asperger's for children recently diagnosed with the condition and also for those who are around them, such as family, friends and teachers. It doesn't take long to read, it's not a daunting tome of science - it's just a quick summary of what Asperger's might mean. Obviously there are meatier titles out there with much more detail but for a sensitive and gentle introduction to Asperger's I don't think there's anything else out there that beats this.

    発達障害関連の学会誌のきわめて真面目な論文に引用されていて、この本の存在を知りました。
    発達障害のある方と日々接していますが、タイトル、実に上手い表現ですし、アスペルガー症候群の方への親愛や理解にあふれています。
    必ずしも正確とは言えませんが（当然です！）、アスペルガー症候群について理解してもらうための説明書として、非常にわかりやすくリラックスして読めます。

    でも最大の目的は、愛くるしい猫の写真集ですっ！！！！！

    This book is AMAZING, especially for older children with Aspergers. We told our son he had been diagnosed and this book made it easy for him to understand. The bluntness and directness of the book was like speaking his language! We have read it again and again!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Sehr süßes Buch, auch für Erwachsene
    Reviewed in Germany on 17 January 2014
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    Normalerweise schreibe ich hier keine Rezensionen sondern lese sie nur, aber da dieses Thema ein Herzensanliegen ist, hier also doch eine kurze Bewertung: die Bilder sind sorgfältig zu den kurzen Statements über Kinder mit Asperger-Syndrom gewählt und zeigen AUSSCHLIESSLICH Katzen (und zwar sehr süße, oft kleine Kätzchen). Auf Erwachsene mit Asperger-Syndrom trifft vieles ebenso zu, daher richtet es sich auch an Betroffene und Angehörige, die versuchen wollen, die Besonderheiten eines solchen Menschen besser zu verstehen.
    Wer ein Problem mit Katzen hat, sollte sich das Buch verkneifen. Aber nicht so eine behinderte Rezension schreiben, wie der 1-Sterne-Rezensent von 2008, der völlig ungerechtfertigt die Gesamtwertung für dieses schöne Buch nach unten zieht. Zumindest die deutsche. Wieso um alles in der Welt sollte man hier Bilder von Menschen sehen? Zum Coming-Out in der Gesamtöffentlichkeit, oder was?? Und gephotoshopt ist hier gerade mal ein Bild - wie ich nach eingehender Prüfung festgestellt habe. Who cares?
    Ich vergebe also zehn Sterne um diese idiotische Rezension wieder auszugleichen. ;=)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Meow, Hooray & At Last!
    Reviewed in the United States on 25 April 2008

    Ten years ago, when I finally figured out what Asperger's was and, at the same time, I discovered that I had several Asperger's children, and a few Asperger's adults, on my caseload as a psychotherapist, I began searching for easy ways to explain Asperger's. It was, and still is, an uphill struggle.

    I'd already found what, to my knowledge, remains one of the best general books on Asperger's Syndrome: Tony Attwood's Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals. (A more up-to-date and extensive general book, now, is Attwood's The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome. It's much longer, but still quite readable & it's filled with clear examples.) It's great for adults wanting a clear, solid understanding -- parents, family members, teachers, mental health professionals, scout-leaders, church leaders, and friends of high school reading level & above. Later, Attwood produced some DVDs, Dr. Tony Attwood presents: Asperger's Syndrome, Volume 2, Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals with Dr. Tony Attwood, which broadened his outreach. Since then, AS book-publishing has become a cottage industry.

    But until I read Kathy Hoopmann's "All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome", I hadn't found something quick, accurate and easy to read & to understand. Hoopmann makes the common cues of Asperger's Syndrome not only instantly accessible but memorable. Even children can read it, and say, "Oh, yeah! That's Joey!" It's ideal for a fast, simple introduction.

    The pictures -- all kittens -- are pure delight! Each one nails its idea. And the book invites re-reading -- it's almost addictively fun. I recommend it highly to those who want a confused grandparent or a modestly curious neighbor to better understand a child who, so often, operates out of a different world, while forced to live in this one.

    And if you get them hooked, and they want to know more, then give them Attwood's book or DVDs. After that, you can broaden them with more specialty books -- teens (such as Freaks, Geeks & Asperger Syndrome: A User Guide to Adolescence; Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence: Helping Preteens & Teens Get Ready for the Real World), girls (Asperger's and Girls -- girls/women are a bit different, with only a fifth as many girls as boys with AS), resources (the Oasis on-line site, Tony Attwood's on-line site), etc. There are many good books & on-line resources, with more all the time.

    And finally, hopefully, they can begin to see not only the Asperger's Syndrome & what it means/doesn't mean, but they can also see, most important of all: the real child in all his beauty, uniqueness & potential!

    By the way, I wouldn't recommend this to explain AS to someone with AS. It's a book of analogies, something someone with AS will have a hard time understanding, and they may take away wrong & negative messages.
