someone translated "the mom factor" into dutch and quoted it on their website
Soms kan een
moeder van iemand met autisme heel erg geïntegreerd zijn in mij. Ze
herkent bepaald gedrag van mij in haar kind. Ze vraagt zich af of haar
kind als volwassene zo zal zijn als ik. Ze wil weten of haar zoon met de
auto zal kunnen rijden en zal werken … zoals ik. Ze wil weten of haar
zoon carrière zal maken, zal trouwen en vader zal zijn … anders dan ik.
In zekere zin hoopt ze dat haar kind het even goed doet als ik. Hoewel
ze anderzijds hoopt dat haar kind niet zo meelijwekkend als ik. Dat
versta ik. Ik stel me voor dat haar kind het erg goed kan doen, door de
voordelen van een vroege diagnose, een individueel leerplan en diverse
therapieën. Maar er is een andere uitermate belangrijke factor in het
welzijn en succes van het kind – Moeder houdt hem in het oog.

they also translated "war of the worlds". since both of those sections are in the free sample at amazon, they might not even have bought the book. ha! with my hyper sense of frugality, i have to respect that, heh heh.

In
twee werelden moet ik bestaan. De eerste is mijn ‘kinderlijke’,
solitaire, autismewereld. De andere is mijn ‘volwassen’, sociale,
neuro-typische wereld. Van nature ben ik in de eerste, maar de tweede
heb ik nodig om te functioneren. Op die koord dansen, tussen die twee
werelden, is niet eenvoudig. Deze werelden ontmoeten elkaar niet, ze
botsen voortdurend, binnen en buiten mij. Autisme mag dan niet
levensbedreigend zijn, het is wel bedreigend voor de kwaliteit van mijn
bestaan.

comment from a reader
"I am half way through this book now, and it is so enlightening and
revealing. I can see my own "Aspie" jumping right off the pages!! It
is a terrific resource, and I plan to share a copy with Luke's teacher
as well as his school counselor!"

"I work for an autism centre called
Dragonfly in New Brunswick, Canada, right on the border of Calais,
Maine. We operate a very specialized autism summer camp based on
music, art & movement therapies as well as a year round resource
centre for families in our area. One of our services is a lending
library of autism related books and material and I will be so happy to
add your book to our selection. Thank you so much for your first hand insight into the mystery of
autism. It will make a big difference in helping other people
understand and cope with this invisible challenge."

email from a reader
"I just want to thank you for your book. My 10 year old daughter is an
aspie. At first I cried my eyes out but now I see how amazing she is
because of her differences. my biggest issues are school and the fact she is most of the
time left out. It breaks my heart to know she is alone. I just want
to help and improve her life more if I can. Again thanks for the book. It is very well written."

"I just
wanted to say thank you for writing this book. It will change lives! I
can say now that you have changed mine. After seven years of being misdiagnosed, this year was the year I
was diagnosed with high functioning autism. Your book is the first
that made a huge impact on me. I want to thank you for that."

email from a reader in wyoming
"I purchased this book yesterday and I absolutely loved reading it. The illustrations and the stories blend so well. I feel that both of
you were singing to the choir. I have felt this way all my life but I never could articulate it very well. I am not of the norm but so what.
I don't think I would want to be. I am happy of what I can do. I get
real tired of what others want me to do. I live in this body and they don't. I know when I tire and I know when I don't. It is so sad that
this world teaches us that we have to be the same. I am different but I
don't want to be like everyone else; it's too exhausting. I contribute
as best as I can. I feel that I am very creative and I have asperber's
to thank. I also have an excellent memory. My brother always teases
me and says that I can remember when I was in the womb. I always say
that God has lent me to me. I have to take care of this vessel until I
am called home. Thank you again for this book. I will read it over and
over."
