Hi everyone, I've been logged in for a few days since setting up my account and last week I was diagnosed with mild Asperger's. I'm 38 and live in England. I would like to explain this to my parents. They aren't online, so can't surf the net looking for information. Can anyone recommend a good book that I could buy for them?
TIA :D

Welcome.

Tony Attwood's "Asperger's Syndrome" is pretty good.

Thanks for the replys :)
I have checked out that Tony Attwood book online and it looks like something my parents might be able to relate to. Thanks for that.

There is Emergence, Labeled Autism, and Thinking In Pictures, both by Temple Grandin and a co-author.
