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.' - from The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome (P) 2019 Hodder & Stoughton Ltd

The author is THE expert and the person who is referred to by authors of other books. He is quoted often. It is for this reason I bought this book. I was impressed by the easy to understand yet thorough coverage of the subject matter. The topic was explained in such an "easy to digest" manner. The clinical examples made each concept very clear while helping the reader or newly diagnosed to comfortably absorb the information and adapt without adding pressure or additional conflict.
I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get a clear understanding of aspergers. This is a brilliant place to start your quest for information. You will get the facts, a clear vision of the range of symptoms, and you will see how people are able to function quite well just by understanding the facts.
