Kids in the Syndrome Mix is a concise, scientifically up-to-date, all-in-one guide to the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders in children—from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder, to autistic spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, sensory integration problems, and executive dysfunction.

Dr. Kutscher provides accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies for responding to children who display traits of these disorders—whether at home, at school, or in other settings—along with case vignettes and practical tips.

The author's sympathetic yet upbeat approach and skillful explanations of the inner world of children in the syndrome mix make this an invaluable companion for parents, teachers, professionals, and anyone else who needs fast and to-the-point advice on children with special needs.

Hi everyone,
I found this book to be of great help to my better understanding of what is going on with my 9-year-old daughter, who suffers from Asperger's, and what I can do to make things easier for her, myself and the people around us. It is a very insightful book.
If you are reading this, I know what you are going through and dealing with. My best thoughts are with you.

"Kids in the Syndrome Mix..." covers a lot of ground on 200 pages of clearly presented, interesting text. As an orientation guide, it is an excellent book that provides insights into various syndromes, as well as tips for dealing with resulting behavioral and educational problems. However, I do not believe reading this book will give you a deeper understanding of what you need and can do to help children in the syndrome mix. But because I realize this may be beyond the scope of the book, and because I am sure it will help you understand children better, I am giving it a high grade. It is worth your time.

Really good information, written concise and easy to read. Great for parents and teachers who do not have a lot of time to read. Chapter 2 is the best chapter I have ever read on how to relate well to children who are often difficult to relate to.
