Format:Kindle Edition
One of the best books on the subject I've read, written by and for Aspies instead of just about them. Has UK specific information for once, and will prove helpful for anyone on the spectrum or who thinks they might be.

Format:Paperback
This book is a must-have for anyone with Asperger's Syndrome, their family, close friends, and even work colleagues.
I have been unable to put it down since it arrived!
Lots of very clear, well-set out, relevant and useful information.
I will be dipping into this over and over again as it has so many helpful details.
I particularly like the "sidebars" where experiences of other Aspies are presented to illustrate what is meant in the text.
This will be really useful for me and my son.
An excellent book!
(Am also considering buying the kindle version too so I can have it with me at all times - just in case I need it!)
