A Guide to Asperger Syndrome
Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, usually with life-long consequences for
social interaction and behaviour. The disorder is neurodevelopmental and symptoms appear
in the preschool years. Individuals a
V
ected are often misunderstood and sometimes misdiag-
nosed when they apply for help.
A Guide to Asperger Syndrome
is an accessible handbook for all those touched by Asperger
syndrome, one of the most common variants of disorders in the so-called autism spectrum.
In it, Christopher Gillberg, a world-renowned authority in the
eld, gives an in-depth
account of symptoms, diagnosis, prevalence, background factors, prognosis and interven-
tion. The book is intended for a wide readership, including those a
W
ected, their families, and
clinicians working with children, adolescents and adults with psychological, developmental,
behavioural or psychiatric problems.
