I've bought this, would anyone recommend it or anything else? It arrives next week but if there is anything else I'm open to buying it.
Thanks,

This an updated version of Attwood's? I have the original (http://www.autismforthvalley.co.uk/files/5314/4595/7798/Attwood-Tony-The-Complete-Guide-to-Aspergers-Syndrome.pdf) and found it a very useful read when I was first diagnosed.
Like Emma, I read the free online version (sorry Mr Attwood).
It is a comprehensive read ABOUT autism and what it is, and why it is...
However, it is not a users guide to life with it :) - but, I guess that would be a BIG ask as we are all so individual in many ways even though there are synergies.

We did buy the book several years ago, but mum lent it out quite a bit to various family friends and it mysteriously vanished!
I'm not sure a life guide is even possible, there's so much variation in autism. I had a book that tried to be one and I loathed it because so many bits of it really didn't suit me as an individual.
The Attwood one that was more a "this is what it is" than a "how-to" was the one I really liked of the small collection we bought around the time I was diagnosed.
