High on the Spectrum: Asperger’s, High Functioning Autism, and Related Personalities by Mike Paget & Kim “Tip” Frank

Description

There has been a failure to launch youth with Asperger’s into functional adult living. Consider the facts that only 3 percent of adults with Asperger’s Syndrome live independently and only 12 percent are gainfully employed. This guidebook is for educators helping young people maximize their strengths and manage weaknesses. It promotes an in-depth understanding of Asperger’s Syndrome, Nonverbal Learning Disabilities, and related conditions, and accommodations that may greatly increase long-term success.
