| Summary |
Having a child with Asperger's Syndrome can feel like raising a Martian. They look the same as all the other children, but somehow, they are just different. The author combines his personal experience of growing up with Asperger syndrome with his knowledge of autistic spectrum disorders to produce a guide for parents. There are perceptive insights on what life can be like for a child with AS and practical strategies parents can use to support their child. |
