The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome
Author: Tony Attwood
Clinical psychologist Tony Attwood explains the possible causes
of Asperger's Syndrome and offers a wide range of personal accounts, making this
a complete guide for parents and families of children and young people with AS.
Dr. Attwood is the leading expert on Asperger's Syndrome (AS) which is the
spectrum partner to autism. This book is, at the time of this review his most
current work. It is a shining gem and one of the standouts in autism/Asperger's
(a/A) literature. If you are on the a/A continuum or know somebody who is, this
book is your best friend. You will refer to it many times.
What makes this book all the more excellent and distinct is that Dr. Attwood
discusses adults on the a/A spectrum as well. Autism in its myriad forms
including AS does not clear up once a person hits adulthood. If you have it, it
is with you for the long haul. Dr. Attwood's book and words of wisdom help
lighten the load.
I have bought several copies of this book and have kept one for myself and gave
the others to professionals in dire need of it. This book deserves a place of
high honor and no parent; professional; person on the spectrum; anybody involved
with a person/people on the spectrum should go without this book.
I was delighted to see a section devoted to intersensory marriage, that is of a
neurotypical (NT) person to somebody on the a/A continuum. I would like to see
more coverage of this much needed topic as AS presents a wide array of social
challenges. Still, it is heartwarming; uplifting and encouraging to see more
information devoted to intersensory marriages.
I agree with other reviewers who say Dr. Attwood is the best - I think we should
propose a toast and raise our glasses to Dr. Attwood!
