Ooooh, great topic. DH and I are both on the Aspie scale and it's looking like DS is more so than we initially thought (I am having to reconsider a diagnosis, but that's in discussion with the school atm as he's doing OK for now socially).

However, I took a look at the cat book. Seriously? A book with asinine sayings and cat pictures and that's supposed to relate to Asperger people? Yeah, that isn't on my wishlist. (Nor are "motivational" cat posters, they also annoy me.) Tony Attwood, on the other hand, I would happily second. "Can I Tell You About Asperger Syndrome?" by Jude Welton is a good guide for younger boys - although aimed at younger boys too.

For a lighthearted look, do you watch Big Bang Theory? Sheldon is a perfect example of a post-school Aspie without the label (and Amy for girls). And the label really does make a difference, even if it's not an official one.
