A booklet from 1991 regarding the condition of autism and Asperger syndrome. Remarkable reading only for the fact of seeing how far as a society we have come in understanding the condition of autism.
Unratable really due to how out of date much of the information that isn't bog standard is. However, there seems to be a notion put forward twice in the booklet about how many adults with autism can, if raised right, develop out of the condition. This is the only place I have ever heard this. Evidently it isn't true. I see the general point, but the wording is too clear to be misinterpreted.
More of a historical reference text than a book you should read for information.
