'Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence is an excellent book that fills a long-standing and sorely felt need. The subtitle, "practical solutions for school success", tells the story and guarantees that this book will be eagerly sought and frequently consulted. An outstanding achievement.'
Bernard Rimland, Director, Autism Research Institute, USA
'Finally, a book about older students with Asperger Syndrome and one that moves beyond describing this complex syndrome. It is a book that educators and parents will refer to again and again as they help students with AS navigate the complex demands of the adolescent experience'
Michael Alessandri, Director, University of Miami Center for Autism and Related Disabilities
The middle school years, pose challenges for all young people. In this comprehensive and thorough book, the authors start with an overview of those characteristics of AS that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. Central to the book is a detailed discussion of strategies and supports necessary to ensure a successful school experience for students with AS at the middle and secondary levels.
What sets this book apart is the way it ties all the recommended strategies together in a real-life case study of Michael, a youth with AS. This touch of real life continues in the closing chapter, which consists of statements by parents and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome about the transition years. This book is critical reading for everybody who lives or works with an adolescent with Asperger Syndrome.
