5.0 out of 5 stars Great material for Adults as well as Adolescents, 29 Dec 2004

By	Keith Appleyard "kapple999" (Brighton, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

If you nothing about Aspergers, I recommend that you first read Tony Attwood.

Thereafter, I think this is the best book I've read on the subject. Dr Howlin chooses not to differentiate between High Functioning Autistic & Aspergers, using the two terms interchangeably.

In much more detail than other books (but just as readable), Dr Howlin covers problems from Childhood, through to Adulthood (ie not just 'preparation', as the sub-title suggests). She covers Communication, Social Functioning, Secondary Education, Further Education, Employment & Adult Relationships.

The Case studies are many & varied, drawn primarily from the UK, but some from the USA.

I had only one quibble : she makes frequent reference to a US program called TEACCH - but never explains what it means - so I had to go elsewhere to find out - 'Treatment and Education of Autistic & related Communication handicapped Children'.
