1. Top Parent Guide to Autism Spectrum Disorders
Understanding Autism for Dummies by Stephen Shore is far and away the most practical, complete introduction to autism for parents that I've ever read. It seems to address every question a parent might have, offering clear, useful advice and insights. Best of all, rather than including a mom's view perspective, it describes the experience of autism from the point of view of the author, who is a successful adult on the autism spectrum.2. Top Parent Guide to Asperger Syndrome
The Oasis Guide to Asperger Syndrome
by Patricia Romanowski Bashe and Barbara L. Kirby is solid, well-written, positive, and loaded with resources. The authors are the creators of a website and organization which supports families living with Asperger syndrome, and the site is a terrific complement to the book.
