Muggleton, who is studying psychology at the U. of St. Andrews in Scotland and gives lectures and workshops on autism spectrum disorders, draws on his experiences having Asperger's syndrome, as well as those of his two younger brothers with autism, to provide a guide for parents, teachers, and others to raising a child with Asperger's or high-functioning autism. Allowing readers to understand things through his perspective, he explores the main characteristics of Asperger's and how they affect a child's life at home and school, and aspects such as mental health issues, sensory sensitivity, repetitive behaviors and obsessions, friendships, daily living skills, school issues, and bullying. He offers solutions to problems that have worked for him and answers common questions. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
