Asperger's Syndrome
Linda J. Baker (ed.) and Lawrence A. Welkowitz (ed.)
In recent years,
a growing number
of children and
adults have been
diagnosed with Asperger's
Syndrome, a neurological
condition characterized
by severe difficulties
with social communication.
While extremely
talented in their
areas of special
interest, many with
the diagnosis also
have problems with
coordination and
sensory processing.
Professionals and
families struggle
to help them function
competently and
make the most of
their unique abilities.
This readable and
practical book
synthesizes the
latest knowledge
about how to do
so in various contexts
from early childhood
on. The authors
include psychologists,
psychiatrists, special
educators, an occupational
therapist, a specialist
in communication
disorders, and
a lawyer, with diverse
philosophies and
methods of intervention.
They suggest a
variety of ways
to help those with
Asperger's adapt
to the "neurotypical" world,
and to bridge the
social chasms that
can develop as
they are integrated
into schools, organizations,
and communities.
Asperger's Syndrome:
Intervening in
Schools, Clinics,
and Communities
constitutes a vital
new resource for
all those who seek
to improve the
lives of individuals
with the syndrome.
