Awesome! Very indepth -- an excellent source of information.

This book give a very thurough, indepth description of autism. It is relatively unbiased, and very accurate in both science and life.

It is especially good in dealing with higher-fuctioning autism -- something often ignored in favor of more negative views. I would strongly recommend this book as a new-comers first source of information about autism.
