Living with Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and 47,XYY: A guide for families and individuals affected by X and Y chromosome variations

If you have a family member with one if the conditions in this book, you really should get a copy. It's helpful and will help you deal with school personnel, instructors, etc., with re proper wording and with "back up material" and teferences that will convey authoritative knowledge o the subject. If you have a young child and he/she is struggling in school and school personnel just don't get it, you might consider donating multiple copies of this book to them: the classroom teacher, special Ed teacher, principal, counselor, etc..It's also good to have it and just go over the information every so often. Supporting a child with a genetic syndrome is a lifetime commitment so you are in it for the long haul. There is not cure, just education. Educate yourself, and the adults your kid is required to depend on, and as much as is practical the child too. I keep this book in my "read regularly" pile beside the bed so I can open it often and be rinsed that we are not alone in this and that with patience, kindness, and perseverance we can prepare our child to do well in school and in life.The RESOURCE LISTING in the book is invaluable. The Children's Hospital in Denver Colorado has a unit that specializes in these specific genetic conditions. We plan to go to their seminars this summer (2013) to learn more, meet experts, and meet other parents and even adults that have the same condition as our own child. The author will probably be there as well.Help yourself and your family member by learning all you can. This book will help. If you are a teacher and you have a kid diagnosed with this syndrome, this book will help you help him or her better too. It's not technical. It's in-the-trenches real-life experiences.Worth every cent.

I purchased this book because I'm 47,xXy too and until this Fine book there has been NO real information in layman's terms out in the marketplace at all. I'm Grateful to 'Virginia Isaacs Cover' for writing this and look forward to a book dealing with adult aspects & lifestyles for those of us that are middle aged to Seniors. (I'm 72.) Thank you.

This is simply an outstanding book for anyone dealing with XXY, XYY or Triple X. Excellent explanations, very thorough presentation of possible challenges and recommendations for finding resources and support. Very straight-forward presentation, well-organized and well written. A must have resource book for parents, health professionals and educators.

Nothing else to say, the back of the book has great information.

Very informative! Would recommend to anyone dealing with any of these genetic disorders. My son has 47,XYY, I let everyone in my family read the book. It really helped them understand as well.

Great amount of information.

Love this book! It has help out my mother-in-law, my husband and I understand there more people out there that do understand and were to find more information on Klineflter Syndrome (xxy).

I knew little bits about Klinefelter Syndrome(KS) but this book has not just given me more knowledge, I now actually UNDERSTAND more of what's happening to my son; physically as well psychologically & emotionally.

A really accessible guide to KS with clear explanations and simply worded solutions. Even though this deals with the US system and my son/I are in the UK it still provided lots of information concerning the condition, some of which I had not read about on the KS sites.I found it really reassuring as my KS son is a baby and this book helped me feel confident about how I am going to support him through his life.It not only includes Cover's research and experiences but other people's too so you get a wider understanding of the condition and its potential impact on their life.A must read for any KS family member/friend.

Thank you, I am delighted with the item

It is exactly what I wanted.I have found it a very useful book and I will be able to keep referring back to it as necessary
