The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome, by Tony Attwood

Arran

The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome, by Tony Attwood, was the 'gold' standard reference for AS at the time it was published.

What exactly is the status of the book in a post DSM-5 world?

Is the book now obsolescent if AS no longer officially exists and is no longer given as a diagnosis?

Is the book no longer recommended reading by the medical profession for parents, teachers, educational psychologists, or even the medical profession themselves?

If the book is now obsolescent, then exactly which book has replaced it?

  • I'd be curious to know what people thought about this book, and if helpful to read. I tried reading it, but it's hard work, even tho I'm good with dry reading. I guess the early chapters refer to kids n young people, and written to parents. I was also disappointed it's not got shutdowns in the index, which i really wanted to read about. It's still by my bed so I may try reading the later chapters.
