Our Asperger's Book

I just got off the phone with our publisher, Larry Erlbaum (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates) who graciously consented to posting our College Student Chapter on this weblog (Thanks, Larry!).  It may seem shameless for me to promote our book on my weblog, but believe me this is not going to get me rich.  Linda Baker and I simply think its a terrific "how to manual" for professionals and parents.  Asperger's Syndrome:  Intervening in Schools Clinics and Communities, by L.Baker and L. Welkowitz (Eds.) contains up to date info with contributions by the following folks in the field:

Tony Attwood -Theory of Mind and Asperger's Syndrome

Steven Safran -Diagnosis

Kate Sofronoff -Counselling

Robert Hendren & Andres Martin -Pharmacotherapy

Traci Gillman -Sensory Integration

Elsa Abele -Running Pragmatics Groups

Teresa Bolick -Assessment

Teresa Bolick -Elementary School
