Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence

In this comprehensive book, the authors start with an overview of those characteristics of Asperger Syndrome that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. The centerpiece of the book is a detailed discussion of strategies and supports necessary to ensure a sucessful school experience for students with Asperger Syndrome at the middle and secondary levels.

What sets thisbook apart is the way it ties all the recommended strategies together in a real-life study of Michael, a youth with Asperger Syndrome. This touch of real life continues in the closing chapter, which consists of statements by parents and adolescents with Asperger Syndrome.
