Appreciating Asperger Syndrome

Autor Brenda Boyd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2009
In various respects, Asperger Syndrome (AS) has a more negative image than it deserves, and often this is because of the challenge it represents to other people. This book challenges negative perceptions of AS and shows that, in the right circumstances and with the right attitude, a diagnosis of Aspergers can be viewed as a positive experience.
