A Guide to Asperger Syndrome

"A Guide to Asperger Syndrome is an accessible handbook for all those touched by Asperger syndrome, one of the most common variants of disorders in the so-called autism spectrum. In it, Christopher Gillberg, a world-renowned authority in the field, gives an in-depth account of symptoms, diagnosis, prevalence, background factors, prognosis and intervention. The book is intended for a wide readership, including those affected, their families, and clinicians working with children, adolescents and adults with psychological, developmental, behavioural or psychiatric problems."--Jacket.

First sentence: Hans Asperger appears to have been unaware of the writings of Ewa Ssucharewa when he published his first paper on the condition that he referred to as 'autistic psychopathy' in 1944.
