Other problems; Clumsiness, Unusual Sensitivities and Obsessional Interests.; 10. Needs and Service Development. References and Further Reading. Index.
The success of this book is truly in the author's ability to convey in each chapter what Asperger Syndrome may look like on a day to day basis... In a remarkable way, the author is describing and illustrating the most insignificant and potentially trivial daily issues all of us encounter by through the eyes of the individual with Asperger Syndrome which transform these circumstances and situations into a true and rather different challenge... The book would be very useful and helpful to parents and other family members, educators and Para-professionals. A very well written, easy to read and rooted in reality exposure book that sheds light on the population of adults with AS which at times get forgotten.
