[Ronnie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Informative, must read for ones with or knowing individuals with Asperger's. Majority of the book is perhaps geared to the reading needs of the professional care-giver, but casts enough insight into the condition to arm anyone with more knowledge in what needs to take place or what might to be expected in order to become prepared in dealing with the condition.
