A short (30 pg), helpful, common-sense guide to parenting a child with Asperger's, I picked up free on Amazon. When I was mentoring autistic teens (about 10 years ago), I could have used a guide like this to help me train my student learners. I saw much of the behavior described: repetitive actions (hand washing), focus on numbers (for a student learning data entry), lack of social skills (reminding my student workers to say hello and goodbye), and observing the physical as well as emotional distance they put between themselves and others.  I really liked the section on seting boundaries and helping the child with a routine. If you have a child or know of a child recently diagnosed, this would be a great introduction for you.
