The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome by Kirby, Barbara L. and Romanowski, Patricia

Written with sensitivity and insight, this book serves as an invaluable source of information about Asperger syndrome, a commonly misunderstood disorder that afflicts 2.5 million children. The authors, who own and operate the OASIS web site, cover the full spectrum of issues that face parents and caretakers of children with AS, from diagnosis through adulthood. Throughout the book there are listings of additional resources and reading materials, but the information provided here is so comprehensive that it could well serve as a one-stop reference for both parents and professionals. And the epilogue alone, entitled "54 Ways to Make the World a Better Place for Persons with Asperger Syndrome," should be required reading for parents of children with this disorder.
