5.0 out of 5 stars Autisms.org Specialty Pick, August 7, 2000

By	"christluvr" (Lancaster, PA) - See all my reviews

This is a groundbreaking book for the layperson and professional alike which outlines the characteristics of the syndrome also referred to as Higher-functioning Autistic Disorder. The book provides a professional synopsis of Aspergers and its profound effect upon the lives of those living and dealing with it.

Well written and widely focused, this book touches on all aspects of the disorder. On a personal level, families of several individuals who have Aspergers provide poignant insights into the day to day struggle with the disorder through their stories and anecdotes. On the intervention side, stratagies for helping enhance the learning of elementary and secondary students at home and in school are discussed. Definately geared towards the diversified needs of the child.
