Living with Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and 47,XYY: A guide for families and individuals affected by X and Y chromosome variations Paperback – 1 Mar. 2012

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.

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

Thank you, I am delighted with the item

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).

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.

I am so glad Virginia Cover took the time to write this publication. There is so much helpful information for parents. If your son has been diagnosed XXY, this is a book you really should read.

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.

Very well written. Being someone not in the medical field, I was able to understand the very important information in this book.
