In this much-needed resource, the author, a mother who holds a doctoral degree in autism spectrum disorders, shares the difficulties encountered by her son with Asperger Syndrome as he grew up. Rounded out by the perspectives of Brent, her adult son with AS, her husband and family members of others who have Asperger Syndrome, the book takes an important look at the truly unique issues facing adolescents and adults with Asperger Syndrome who have gone undiagnosed until late in life!
