Our Journey Through High Functioning Autism and Asperger Syndrome: A Roadmap

For the families who have contributed to this work, living with autistic spectrum disorders has been a journey of self-discovery. With honesty and humour, they describe the ways autism has affected their daily lives, the challenges they have faced and the approaches they found beneficial. They share their practical and original strategies for dealing with issues such as helping children to develop empathy and humour, developing and maintaining friendships and explaining their autistic spectrum disorders to other people. This book should be of use to families of children with autism and the professionals who work with them.
