social skills training for children and adolescents with conditions like Asperger syndrome. The information is well-organized and offers a systematic approach to teaching social skills.

How about an informative book written by someone who
actually has an autistic disorder?

The book, Life and Love: Positive Strategies for Autistic Adults is written by Zosia Zaks and is also published by Autism Asperger Publishing Company. This book offers the unique and valuable perspective of an adult with autism.

The foreword of the book is written by Temple Grandin, PhD. Temple is another autistic adult who travels the United States to deliver workshops and lectures about conditions like Asperger syndrome.
