Asperger's Syndrome

by Toney Allman

Overview

People with Asperger's syndrome typically have difficulties with social interactions, and often have pervasive, absorbing interests in self-selected special topics. As many as fifty percent of people with Asperger's syndrome may be undiagnosed. Successful treatment generally involves one or multiple social, behavioral, or educational interventions. Author Toney Allman offers young readers and researchers a means of understanding this condition and its ramifications. Careful explanations offer insight into what it is, what may cause it, how people live with it, and the latest information about treatment.
