These books have the term "Asperger Syndrome" in the name, but since many professionals feel that AS is the same as High Functioning Autism and other professionals feel that a great many AS individuals fit the NLD (Nonverbal Learning Disorder) Profile, look to both of those sections for excellent resources.

Asperger Syndrome
Edited by Ami Klin, PhD, Fred R. Volkmar, MD, and Sara S. Sparrow, PhD
Child Study Center, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.

This book is a wonderful collection of articles which delve into all aspects of Asperger Syndrome. While I HIGHLY recommend the book, particularly for seasoned parents and adults who have already spent some time doing research, professionals and students, those who are new to the diagnosis might want to start out with the Tony Attwood and Brenda Myles books (see below) and, then return to read this excellent resource.
