Description

Tony Attwood's guide assists parents and professionals with the identification, treatment, and care of children and adults with Asperger's Syndrome. The book describes and analyzes the unusual characteristics of the syndrome and offers practical strategies to reduce those that are most conspicuous or debilitating. Beginning with a chapter on diagnosis, including an assessment test, it covers all aspects of the syndrome—from language and social behavior to motor clumsiness—concluding with a chapter addressing frequently asked questions from those who work with individuals with this syndrome. Drawing on the available literature, the guide brings together relevant and useful information on Asperger's Syndrome, incorporating case studies from the author's practical experience as a clinical psychologist, with examples and quotations from people with Asperger's Syndrome.
