An excellent book - wish I'd found it sooner! Relatively complex in terms of assessment tools suggested, so better for professionals.

Probably one of the best books I've read on ASD.

I've had this book out several times. Although it is quite detailed I always get something out of it.

Had left this book to the last of my readings- it struck a chord and tied it all together for me. A great book every teacher should read.
