Can anyone recommend any good books on aspergers please?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone could recommend any good books on aspergers in adults especially in girls please. I have only quite recently found out that I may have aspergers and have my final assignment next month. So would love to find out more about it and coping with it. Thank you.

I read Aspergirls by Rudy Simone and Pretending to be Normal by Liane Willey. I thought both were good but, as I haven't read others, don't have anything to compare them to. (Plus, I'm no expert). I did find a resource once with a bunch of suggested books but I can't remember where (I did a lot of online searching and didn't bookmark anything, unfortunately.)

I'm sure others would have better suggestions than me. And good luck

'The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome' by Dr Tony Attwood is excellent, and is often regarded as the classic text. Although he is a practising psychologist, the book is very accessible and has a useful bibliography that suits professionals and non-professionals alike.

Thank you for your replies. I have already read a book by Liane Willey Called Safety Skills for Asperger Women which was pretty good so I check out her other book too. I have seen a few reviews of The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome' and it looks a great book

I would also recommend Attwood's book. However, I personally found Aspergirls to be of little value as it seemed to be based largely on personal experience and I did not relate well to it.

Martian in the playground is a good book written by an Aspie woman.
