All those who know Tony Attwood's work, and his highly acclaimed book, Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals will be aware of his extensive knowledge of the subject and his down-to-earth and positive approach. In this video he explains and discusses the diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome and how people who have been diagnosed in this way can be supported, and their strengths developed. He covers the theory of mind of those with this challenge and, as he does, his ideas broaden our perception and understanding. The video format enables the viewer to see his ideas in action, and will be invaluable for parent support groups, training, and as a general introduction to Asperger's.

This presentation was given live to audiences recently in several major American cities, and at all the events attendees were unanimous in their appreciation for the quality of his ideas.

Author of the well-known book Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals, Tony Attwood is a Clinical Psychologist who has specialized in autism for over twenty-five years.
