Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The author met a boy named Jack who was invited to Alicia’s birthday party. He was a lonely, kind boy who seemed to understand many things, and he was very eloquent for an eight-year-old.

#2 Asperger’s syndrome is a diagnosis that describes someone who perceives and thinks about the world differently from other people. It is typically characterized by a lack of social understanding, a limited ability to have a reciprocal conversation, and an intense interest in a particular subject.

#3 Asperger was the first to describe autism, and he observed that the children had social difficulties and unusual social abilities. He believed that the condition was due to genetic or neurological factors, rather than psychological or environmental ones.

#4 When a child is referred for a diagnostic assessment, they may have traveled along one of several different diagnostic pathways. The average age for a diagnosis of a child with Asperger’s syndrome is between 8 and 11 years.
