"Providing an explanation of Asperger's based on a review of
scientific research, Richard Bromfield describes how the
characteristics of the syndrome affect the person's thoughts and
experiences throughout childhood. Psychotherapy based on the
practices described in this book will change the destiny of
children and adults with Asperger Syndrome to one of greater
connectivity to themselves and others. This should become the
primary text for pshchotherapists working with children and
adolescents with Asperger's."
—Tony Attwood, PhD, author of The Complete Guide to
Asperger's Syndrome
"Dr. Blomfield generously shares his wisdom and experience in
this very accessible, honest, and often moving book. Any clinician
who reads it in its entirely—or even selects a chapter or two
at random—will no doubt discover new paths to take their most
complex and challenging clients and gain a greater appreciation for
those with Asperger Syndrome. Bromfield gives us all a window into
a world that is hard to describe, impossible to imagine, but needs
and deserves to be understood."
—Naomi Angoff Chedd, LMHC, Autism Specialist and coauthor
