Adolescence, Aspergers, and High-Functioning Autism

A Parent & Professional Workshop

Description: Adolescence is a time of transitions and change. Anyone
who has a child or student with Aspergers or High-Functioning Autism
knows that transitions are when problems are most likely to emerge.
Adolescence is one of the biggest transitions in a person's life.
