What is Asperger Syndrome and How Will It Affect Me?
Martin Ives
A guide for young people. Asperger syndrome is quite a tricky thing to explain. Your friends and even your teacher may never have heard of it.
This book answers some questions that people often have about Asperger syndrome. It also gives you some ideas about dealing with the difficulties you might experience and talking about your condition to other people.
A note from SWAN: ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’ is no longer used as a diagnosis and the term “high-functioning” is harmful, as it minimises the varied support needs of autistic people. SWAN does not endorse these terms, but recognises that this resource contains other useful information.
