JaKay,
I am not familiar with the books on your list but I can tell you that Tony Attwood,
Lorna Wing, and Temple Grandin are some of the most respected authors in the field
(Grandin is autistic herself)
These are some of the good Asperger?s books that I would start with:
Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and Professionals by Tony Attwood
The OASIS Guide to Asperger Syndrome: Completely Revised and Updated : Advice,
Support, Insight, and Inspiration by Patricia Romanowski Bashe (OASIS is the major
organization dealing with this syndrome)
The Autistic Spectrum by Lorna Wing
The Autistic Spectrum: A Parents' Guide to Understanding and Helping Your Child
(Paperback) by Ami, Prof Klin, Fred Volkmar, Lorna Wing, M.D., Lorna Wing " (Klin
and Volkmar are top Yale researchers in the field)
Thinking In Pictures: and Other Reports from My Life with Autism by Temple Grandin
Good luck!
