Description: This much-needed resource helps parents and professionals address the challenges of early learners with high-functioning autism and Asperger Syndrome, who are often a mystery to educational professionals. In the first chapter, the author builds a foundation by explaining HFA and AS and some typical characteristics, such as sensory issues, attention deficit disorders and difficulties of socialization. Later in the book, she discusses the educational setting and transition planning, including the process of moving into kindergarten or first grade, shadowing and planning for inclusion.
