This book uncovers the puzzling behaviors of children and youth with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS). Many of these behaviors have a sensory base and, therefore, are often difficult to pinpoint and interpret. Written in a very reader-friendly style, the book covers the impact of the sensory system on behavior, reviews formal and informal assessment tools, and offers an invaluable set of practical interventions that can be used by parents and educators alike to promote success for children and youth with AS.
