About this listen
The Asperger's Syndrome Bible for parents and professionals, newly updated with an introduction explaining the DSM-5
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.'

A wealth of knowledge and experience.
I was told I might have Asperger's by someone that does. After reading it I don't think I would qualify for a diagnosis, but definitely have Asperger's traits. There's lots I related to and some things I couldn't relate to as much. I also watched Love On The Spectrum on Netflix which gave some amazing examples of real people with the condition which was a perfect compliment to this detailed clinical explanation.

Very well written!
Very thorough description of High-Functioning Autism /Asperger's Syndrome! It is read for someone without Asperger's, but is just as valuable to read as someone with Asperger's. It helped me understand myself and my syndrome far better than I expected!
The quotes from Aspy patients were very useful too!

useful tool
as an adult with suspected aspergers but never diagnosed I found this book useful with gaining insights into myself and identifying certain traits. Many 'OMG, Yes!' moments

Good insight
This book provides good insight into Aspergers, though it does get a little repetitive at times and although not a bad thing I feel it primarily focus' on the children's aspect.
