[Oz-gifted] Asperger's query

[sol1]

I think Tony Attwood's "Asperger's Syndrome, a Guide for Parents and 
Professionals" would be a good place to start. It is probably the most 
widely available and it is easy to read. You can get it at just about any 
public library as well. He is based in Brisbane.

Here is his website, which also has quite a lot of research articles and a 
lot more information, for parents, schools and others
