Asperger Syndrome and high-functioning autism are detected earlier and more accurately today than ever before. Children and teens with these disorders often stand out for their precocious intelligence and language abilities – yet profound social difficulties can limit every aspect of their lives. This compassionate guide shows parents how to work with their children’s unique impairments and capabilities to help them to learn to engage more fully with the world and live as self-sufficiently as possible. From leading experts in the field, the book is packed with ideas for helping children relate more comfortably to peers, learn the rules of appropriate behavior, and participate more fully in school and family life. It also explains what scientists currently know about autistic spectrum disorders and how they are diagnosed and treated. Problem-solving ideas and matter-of-fact advice on everything from educational placements to career planning makes this an indispensable reference that families will turn to again and again.
