5.0 out of 5 stars Compulsory reading, 25 Sep 2000

By A Customer

If you haven't read much about autism, this is the best possible place to start; if you've read lots about autism, you'll still find new information and insights in here. Lorna Wing is a renowned researcher who is also the mother of an autistic daughter herself, and she combines the two perspectives to provide a positive and reassuring guide to understanding autism and coping with it on a day-to-day basis.
