Very useful book to learn about Autism Spectrum. It contains graphs and stats info that may be a little confusing if you are not familiar with certain technical terms, but there's always an explaination for those.

Informativo pero con mucho neurosexismo. Si trabajas en el ámbito científico/investigación de la salud, te das cuenta de ello sino, te pasará desapercibido.

Un libro muy útil para aprender más sobre el autismo y el síndrome de Asperger. Se lee fácilmente por su brevedad y el lenguaje de fácil comprensión.

A very well written, concise introduction to Autism and Asperger's. Hits just about every salient point imaginable, from the history of the condition, various treatments that have been tried, its prevalance in the population, and on and on. And manages to do it in under 150 pages.

Quite frankly, the only eyebrow raiser in the entire work was a very brief discussion of prenatal testing for the condition. As someone with Asperger's, I have to wonder if I'd be here if such a thing existed. Better stop now. If I get started on Autism Speaks and their research in this area I'm not sure when I'd stop.
