http://www.amazon.com/Pretending-Be-Nor ... 537&sr=8-1


http://www.amazon.com/Aspergers-Girls-T ... 584&sr=8-1

and while not AS related the following seems like an interesting book.

http://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Santa- ... 679&sr=1-1


I'm sure there have been other book topics here but wanted opinions on these 2 since 1) I'm a woman so the girls one seemed interesting and 2) I read excerpts (or whatever it's called a PART of Pretending to be normal) and it seemed interesting as well
Also the 3rd book like I said while not AS based seems IMO right up my ally about Psychology of Christmas (my Psychology is behavior itself not you have X disorder s**t! LOL!

I've gotten the complete guide to asperger's syndrome, and Understanding Autism for Dummies. By the Way, i find it interesting, zeldapsychology, that your avatar is the "Avatar' poster.

I'm reading Temple Grandin's "The Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships" and can recommend it.
