Autism / Asperger's Books
Most of these are available from Amazon and other online retailers. Most are autism-specific, but some are just related topics that are relevant. I wouldn't necessarily recommend them all, but what works for one person doesn't for another, so I didn't want to exclude any. These are only the books I've bought in the eternal quest for answers; there are masses of books out there so please let me know about any you come across that you recommend, so that I can add them to the list.
