Asperger Syndrome and Adolescence: Practical Solutions for School Success

The middle school years, and particularly the transition to middle and high school, pose challenges for all students. But for students with Asperger Syndrome (AS) the transition can be traumatic, leading to a downward emotional spiral and even depression. In this comprehensive and thorough book, the authors start with an overview of those characteristics of AS that make adolescence particularly challenging and difficult. The centerpiece of the book is a detailed discussion of strategies and supports necessary to ensure a successful school experience for students with AS at the middle and secondary levels.
