Sensory Perceptual Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Second Edition
Completely revised and updated, this book focuses on sensory perceptual problems as identified by individuals on the autism spectrum. Despite frequently being identified by individuals with autism as one of the main problems they face, sensory perceptual issues are still often overlooked by professionals.

Worlds of Autism
Since first being identified as a distinct psychiatric disorder in 1943, autism has been steeped in contestation and controversy.
