A bit outdated (still makes reference to Asperger's because it was written with the background of the DSM-4) but a good first introduction to ASD in general. I picked this up at the library and read it in one sitting. If you don't know anything about autism or the current terminology then you may get the wrong idea from this book. It was also very heavy on the amab side of things, with only a few references to afab children.
