Product Description
Asperger Syndrome has become an increasingly common disorder. One in 300 individuals may have AS—exhibiting characteristics such as average to high intelligence, obsessive behavior, intense special interests, and difficulty dealing with everyday social situations—and it is now more prevalent than childhood cancer and Down’s syndrome.
As the mother of a boy diagnosed with AS in 1994, Barbara Kirby found scant resources and support. She developed the internationally renowned OASIS (Online Asperger Syndrome Information and Support) Web site in 1995 to help other parents find the information they need. She teamed up with Patricia Romanowski Bashe, now co-owner of OASIS and herself the mother of a son with AS, to write The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome, which has become the standout authority in the field and a must-have for this growing audience.
Now Bashe and Kirby have crafted a fully revised edition of this comprehensive resource for parents, teachers, therapists, and anyone who knows or works with someone with AS. In addition to discussing what AS looks like and how parents can guide their unique child through the social, emotional, and intellectual challenges of growing up, this edition includes new developments made in AS research over the past four years, new thinking on diagnosis and evaluation, the latest approaches to medication and social skills development, and tips on navigating the maze of interventions, therapies, and special education. The authors know firsthand the joys and frustrations of raising children with AS, and they share their own experiences as well as those of dozens of parents facing the same issues.
Filled with practical information and emotional support, this is the most complete and authoritative guide available. Whether your child has been diagnosed or troubling symptoms are just becoming apparent, this book will point you in the right direction as you face the particular challenges of loving and raising a child with Asperger Syndrome.

I checked this out at my local library and knew I needed a copy for my resource files. Excellent reference with lots of good information and insight as advertised. Resources available in book may be outdated, but it is worth having if you are interested in learning more about this condition. Shipping was quick and arrived in excellent condition as a new book at a great price.

• Please Buy! 01 June, 2008
This is the most awesome book for people living or working with someone with Aspergers. I have an adult son with AS,and if I had this wonderful resource when he was small, it would have been MORE than helpful. It is the most comprehensive book I have read on the subject, and I have read a good number.
It covers general info about Asperger Syndrome, what it looks like, how it is diagnosed, options and interventions, medication, special ed basics,and the child's emotional life, to name just a few.
It is well written and easy to read and understand.
I highly recommend this book for parents of children recently diagnosed with Aspergers! A wealth of good info!
