This book is highly readable and eminently practical and is probably the best general introduction to Asperger Syndrome. Dr Attwood draws heavily on first hand evidence from people with the syndrome. Autism and Asperger Syndrome Uta Frith, Cambridge University Press 1991 Contains a translation by Uta Frith of Asperger's original 1944 paper as well as chapters by experts in the field. Dr Frith attempts to isolate the core psychological difficulties in autism. This book is a compelling read and is further enlivened by the use of analogies from history, mythology and art.
