Product Information
The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is the definitive handbook for anyone affected by Asperger's syndrome (AS). Now including a new introduction explaining the impact of DSM-5 on the diagnosis and approach to AS, it brings together a wealth of information on all aspects of the syndrome for children through to adults. Drawing on case studies and personal accounts from Attwood's extensive clinical experience, and from his correspondence with individuals with AS, this book is both authoritative and extremely accessible. Chapters examine: * causes and indications of the syndrome * the diagnosis and its effect on the individual * theory of mind * the perception of emotions in self and others * social interaction, including friendships * long-term relationships * teasing, bullying and mental health issues * the effect of AS on language and cognitive abilities, sensory sensitivity, movement and co-ordination skills * career development. There is also an invaluable frequently asked questions chapter and a section listing useful resources for anyone wishing to find further information on a particular aspect of AS, as well as literature and educational tools. Essential reading for families and individuals affected by AS as well as teachers, professionals and employers coming in contact with people with AS, this book should be on the bookshelf of anyone who needs to know or is interested in this complex condition. 'I usually say to the child, Congratulations, you have Asperger's syndrome , and explain that this means he or she is not mad, bad or defective, but has a different way of thinking.' - from The Complete Guide to Asperger's SyndromeProduct Identifiers

Extremely informative & helpful
This is an incredibly informative & extremely helpful guide to Aspergers. Having lived, unknowingly, with a man with Aspergers for over 14years, I can suddenly understand him, our life & our relationship. Every page explains something else about him that I had not known had a root cause. I have not quite finished the book but it is such a relief that somebody somewhere understands what I have been struggling with. What a pity the author is Australian, I would have loved some counselling for my husband & myself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A lovely book
A lovely book. Explanatory, comprehensive and accessible - it is a fluid read. The writer also writes with compassion. I can relate to some of the symptoms. I have long had difficulties with interacting with other people and have searched tirelessly to find out what it is and what I can do about it. I think i've found out why so now I will use the book to better understand myself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
