Can someone suggest to me books on Asperger Syndrome, and on how to improve it? And can you find them in the library, or do you have to buy them from a bookstore?

Thanks. :D

The Complete Guide to Aspergers Syndrome by Tony Attwood. You will probably need to buy it unless you've got a great library near by.

I'm reading that book now. It's very good and accessible for a non-science person. Although large parts of it deal with AS in children.

The Unwritten Rules Of Social Relationships by Temple Grandin and Sean Barron. Sheds light on some common misbeliefs.

I have another interesting book that was recommended to me that I've yet to read: A Field Guide to Earthlings by Ian Ford.

I bought a book the other day "Asperger's from the inside out" by Michael John Carey.
I haven't read it yet but I've looked through it its like a guide for people with Aspergers.

Consider that Asperger's Syndrome IS the improvement! Celebrate neurodiversity.

Book: "Wait, What Do You Mean?" Asperger's Tell and Show from xlibris or Amazon. Contains quotes of more than 100 AS persons, many from right here on WP!
