A comprehensive, accessible guide to autism, Asperger's syndrome, pervasive developmental disorder and other ASDs for parents, carers and teachers. The book has a chapter on adults with ASD. Originally published in the USA.

As someone who works with children on the Autism Spectrum, this was a very informative book that gives a nice overview of topics related to Autism. Sicile-Kira notes that her information is in no way meant to be exhaustive, which I would agree with, but it is a good place to start. It also includes some great resources specifically for teachers, parents, siblings, ect., which is very helpful. Overall, a perfect book to start learning about and understanding ASDs. (

This is a great resource guide and general overview to the world of autism. That's all it is though. (
