This is the first guide I have ever found aimed at educating teachers about higher functioning autism and asperger's syndrome. Aimed primarily at Junior High, High School, and College teachers. As a parent I found it accurate and full of extremely helpful ideas for educators. I am making sure each of my daughters teachers read it as it sheds light on the education problems that follow my daughter. This book will give educators information they can easily use and incorporate into their classrooms to help these adolescents be successful. Even includes social interaction information. I loved it.

This guide provides important insights and practical strategies for teaching and supporting higher functioning students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in school. The examples used focus on high school situations, but the strategies can also be applied to students in other grades. This manual was written to help teachers increase awareness, and it also offers ideas that teachers can use to encourage academic and vocational success in students with ASD.
