Extremely Beneficial, Perceptive, True-life 
2008-02-27
A Special Kind of Brain is extraordinarily beneficial to such caregivers of young children diagnosed with NLD. The author offers detailed descriptions and true insight by exposing her personal experience on maintaining responsibility over a child diagnosed with NLD. Within this book I found the author placed an extensive amount of research on such a diagnosis throughout this difficult journey. Her hands-on awareness introduces a variety of informative aspects to those seeking facts as well as answering a long list of questions that parents inevitably have upon discovering such a diagnosis. All of which has made this book highly successful on offering guidance and courses of action to take for parents of young children diagnosed with NLD. Parents may commonly feel a sense of helplessness during this particular challenging experience. I'm confident that after reading A Special Kind of Brain such parents can press on with a great deal of peace of mind.
Highly Informative, Insightful and Humorous 2008-02-09
A Special Kind of Brain is particularly helpful to parents of young children who have been diagnosed with NLD as well as those who are in the assessment phase of treatment. It is a must read for any parent seeking clear, concise descriptions of NLD behaviors as well as a thorough guide to literature and resources on the topic. The author's humorous insights and recommendations are what set this book apart from what little literature exists to date. The use of humor is precisely what parents of NLD children need; not only to be effective parents but to preserve their own sanity and A Special Kind of Brain does just that.
Not helpful for our particular needs 
2007-08-23
This book could be helpful to others experiencing puzzling behaviors in small children. It wasn't particularly helpful in our situation - dealing with a teenager. I still do not understand the difference between non verbal learning disability and asperger syndrome which is why I bought the book. The symptoms are so similar that separating them into two syndromes seems to add to the puzzle rather than be helpful.
