A Parent’s Guide to Asperger Syndrome & High Functioning Autism:  How to Meet the Challenges and Help Your Child Thrive

Sally Ozonoff, Ph.D., Geraldine Dawson, Ph.D., James McPartland, Ph.D.

Description:

If you are the parent of a child with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism – or are simply wondering whether your child’s unusual interests, behavior, and difficulty relating to others are cause for concern – this is the book for you.  Leading psychologists explain how to work with your child’s paradoxical combination of precocious talents and social difficulties to help him or her learn to engage more fully with the world.  Featuring loads of everyday problem-solving ideas and examples, the book describes useful strategies to help your child learn to interact more comfortably with siblings and peers, understand the rules of appropriate behavior, and become an active participant in school and family life.
