In this detailed case study, Vuletic and Ferrari combine an autobiographical account with perspectives from other family members and people who know Teodor well, while simultaneously integrating psychiatric and psychological research on autism. The authors evaluate the merits and pitfalls of different interpretations of autism and address the broad psychological issues related to Asperger Syndrome.Asperger's syndromeCase studiesAsperger's syndrome616.85/88Vuletic Ljiljana1959-1662978Ferrari Michel1959-1105347Mihail Teodor1662979MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812894503321Transfer boy4019974UNINA
