If you're going to get one book on the topic, this would have to be it. It's comprehensive and covers not only things that might be part of the diagnosis, but related traits which he has seen in his clinical practice. The end of chapter summaries are nice.

One of the later books I discovered whilst reading-researching about Autistic Spectrum Disorder but soooooooo wish it had been the first! The kind understanding with which this book is written still moves me to tears because the authenticity with which the personal experiences are recorded means it is instantly recognizable to any Spectrumite..

Most comprehensive and professional guide to the disorder. Must read as an introduction to AS. It's a bit more skewed toward children and boys, although there are sections about marriage and mentions of gender differences. So it's not everything, but it is an excellent starting point.

A really good book about Aspergers. Pretty comprehensive, too. I read the book and decided that I probably have the disability. I would recommend it to anybody interested in Aspergers.

This book is probably the best introductory book to Aspergers. It acknowledges and discusses the various difficulties both children and adults on the spectrum face, and is fairly comprehensive. Something I wasn't too fond of was his excessive quotation of Liane Holliday Willey, it would have been better if he had drawn on the experiences of a more diverse group rather than constantly referring to the experiences of one individual. Regardless, this book is certainly worth reading.

It's a good book. Attwood's website is also informative.

Tony Atwood, the author of this book, is one of the world's top experts on Aspergers. He has an understanding of Aspergers that I used to think only other Aspies could have.
