The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome

Tony Attwood

'Invaluable' 'Essential reading' are words often to be found in a review - but these really do apply to  this book.  In addition, 'complete guide' is all too frequently used in a book title, but here the title is justified and totally accurate.

Written by Dr Tony Attwood, a practising clinical psychologist, with more than 25 years experience in the field of Aperger's Syndrome, his knowledge and understanding shines through the text.

Whether you are a professional, know someone who has AS, or have this syndrome yourself, this is a book which you find totally absorbing and helpful.  Read, without jargon, about measuring the intensity of emotions - strategies to improve conversational skills - about movement and coordination - the list is endless.  The Key Points and Strategies at the end of each chapter and clear and to the point.  FAQ's, a glossary and a list of resources helps with the overall understanding of this complex syndrome.

Tony Attwood's hope for the future is that there will be a more positive and encouraging attitude towards people with Asperger's Syndrome.  This book will go a long way towards making this happen.
