'Have a question about Asperger syndrome? Chances are it's answered in this comprehensive guide by Australian Tony Attwood. Attwood has been studying, writing about and speaking about AS for many years, and has gained a reputation for being knowledgable, approachable, and practical in his advice and thoughts. Attwood also manages to be enormously respectful to people with AS -- something that can't be said for all such guides. One of the nicest and most surprising aspects of this compendium of knowledge is that it's easy to read. Although Attwood does use "vocabulary words," he's careful to keep his language down-to-earth and engaging. Readers who aren't quite sure what a particular term means can check the glossary in the back of the book. (About.com)
Usually, the first place I send any client for information is Tony Attwood's The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome. For parents of kids just diagnosed with Asperger's, adults who think that maybe they've always been on the autism spectrum, or autistic teens who are starting to transition into adulthood, this book is a solid place to start. I think of this book as the Asperger's equivalent to The Joy of Cooking. There are lots of specialized cookbooks out there, covering the details of Thai cuisine, or how to use a slow cooker, but the classic Joy of Cooking can get you started and point out where to go next. Attwood's The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome can get you started on just about any Asperger related issue, and show you where to go from there. (The Autism News)
In 1998, Australian clinical psychologist Attwood published Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals, which quickly established him as an international expert on the condition. Here, he updates research in this rapidly evolving field, offering a wealth of information on childhood, college, long-term relationships, and careers. He gives comprehensive coverage of topics such as friendship, bullying, special interests, and theory of mind. Each chapter begins with a quote from Hans Asperger himself and includes firsthand experiences from individuals with Asperger's, including Temple Grandin, Liane Holliday Willey, and Stephen Shore. Particularly helpful are the "Key Points and Strategies" at each chapter's end and the detailed FAQs, glossary, resources, and references sections. Attwood writes, "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." His work skillfully brings together the current information on this fascinating condition and is an essential purchase for academic and public libraries. (Library Journal)
From the Publisher
"The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome is flawless in its ability to ease the trepidations, answer the questions, buoy the spirits, and encourage the dreams of those who walk with AS. Attwood and his insights are golden!"
--Liane Holliday Willey, EdD, author of Pretending to be Normal: Living With Asperger's Syndrome
"An encyclopedia on Asperger's syndrome written in easy-to-read non-technical language. It will be especially useful for helping individuals with Asperger's, parents and professionals understand the social difficulties. There is a good mix of research information, first person reports and clinical information. The section on sensory over-sensitivity is excellent. Sensory issues prevent many people on the autism/Asperger's spectrum from participating in many social activities because stimuli that do not bother most people are intolerable."
--Temple Grandin, author of Thinking in Pictures and Animals in Translation
"Grounded in research from close to 30 years of direct experience, yet very accessible, Dr Attwood brings understanding of Asperger Syndrome to new heights. Peppered with personal accounts and clear explanations...this book is a "must have" for everyone, including those with Asperger Syndrome."
--Stephen Shore, AbD, author of Beyond the Wall: Personal Experiences with Autism and Asperger Syndrome

The Title Says it All
By SRK
I have been fence sitting for over a decade as to whether my son might have Asperger's Syndrome. A good friend who had a son diagnosed with Asperger's suggested I read this book. She referred to it as the definitive resource on the subject. The book is a very good resource for parents of Asperger's children. It brings things into focus and can help educators also in helping these young people navigate not only their school years, but the world from their perspective.

Hopeful, positive, authoritative, covers language more than most
By Lego Mom
I highly recommend this book. I've read a lot of books and articles over the last 5 years. Tony Atwood's respect and understanding comes through as he writes clearly and easily about a complex subject. Strengths and contributions from people with AS are highlighted. I was surprised when he described our son's language difficulties very closely, no one else has, and makes the point that language differences should be included in the DSM-IV which is often misleading on that score. Having so much info gathered into one source by a recognized authority made it easy to refer to certain points during our son's IEP planning meeting and at least one of his teachers was very happy to borrow it, others already owned it. I especially liked the insightful quotes from individuals with Asperger's in each chapter. I wish even more had been included.

Understanding helps the pain, of dealing with other's pain.
By James H. Johnson
This book has helped me to understand how to handle the things in my life I can not change. Great guide lines to a subject that is tough to talk about with someone who has not experienced it in their family. You don't feel so alone when you read this book as to the things that go on in your life, that you are a part of, but have no control to change. Someone told me to remember the people who have Asperger's wake-up and go to sleep with this, we only have to deal it for a short time. So at all cost "Be Kind".
