This comprehensive guide is filled with practical advice to help
students with Asperger's Syndrome survive the often stressful transition to
college and develop skills in college that will be of benefit during the college
years and beyond. It provides solid advice to help students prepare for
studying, interact with staff and fellow students, cope with expectations and
pressures, and understand academic and domestic responsibilities. How will I
cope with the workload? What do I do if I feel ill? How do I make friends and
initiate relationships with the opposite sex? Drawing on first hand interviews
with AS students and direct clinical experience, the authors address these and
many other questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, making practical
recommendations. This book is a must for students preparing to go to college,
college students, parents and counselors alike. 272 pages.
