Publisher Synopsis
'The book contains many fascinating and moving accounts of the problems faced in everyday life by people with AS, and describes ways of helping them to cope. It will be a valuable text for students of psychology, education, and social work, and should be required reading for child psychiatrists and pediatricians. Parents of children with AS, and individuals who have the disorder, may also find the book helpful and encouraging.' -Lorna Wing, MD, Centre for Social and Communication Disorders, British National Autistic Society Read more...
