This book does a good job of addressing the debate about whether Asperger syndrome is really an alternative label for High Functioning Autism or not. On my reading of the book, it favours the HFA angle which may run counter to European preferences. A good dealof information is provided an assessment options and thier implications. Interventions are reviewed quite briefly - understandable given the number involved.

In conclusion, it is fair to say that the book is aimed at professionals rather than parents. I found the writing style a bit too formal (as if the book as an extended journal paper) and that made the book lesss appealing to me. In terms of wide audience appeal, I would prefer the book on Asperger Syndrome by Christopher Gillberg.
