The authors describe the origins of the solution focused approach and discuss how it can be used to support individuals on the autistic spectrum. Complemented by case study examples and practical worksheets and tools, the book treats people with Asperger Syndrome as individuals aside from the “problem or “disordered aspects of autism.
