Good beginners books?

Post Reply New Topic

So all the tests is not done yet but they are like 80% sure I have AS, so I want to read more about it.
I want books and not internet sites 'cause I think it's a bit difficult to read on the net/computer.
So do anyone have any good books for me that doesn't now almost anything about AS?

(if you know any swedish ones please tell me that too)

Have you noticed this page yet?

I found that Tony Attwoods "complete guide to Asperger's Syndrome" was a well written and detailed resource, from a number of perspectives.

I'd have to go with anything written by Tony Attwood.

i like Tony Attwood as well.

but i think it's best to learn about ASDs from people who have them. and so i would recommend reading as much as you can on wrong planet and blogs and books written by people on the spectrum. they understand the condition (and different ways of manifestation) better than the diagnosticians and doctors.

Yes I have notice that page but it doesn't stand there which books are good for beginners.

Well as I already have written, I don't like to read on the net. I think it's tiredsome for my eyes to read on a computer screen. And I only know one person with AS and he is so annoying that I prefer not to talk to him.

Why I wanna read about AS is 'cause I'm not sure I have it. I've heard that ppl with AS don't go on intuition and I always do that. Most of the time I act before I think and my emotions control everything I do and I'm easily moved by others feelings, and that I've heard to that ppl with AS don't do.

I recommend John Robison's book Look Me in the Eye: My Life with Asperger's

There are a ton of good books on Asperger's out there.
