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. 606 $aAsperger's syndrome$vCase studies 615 0$aAsperger's syndrome 676 $a616.85/88 700 $aVuletic$b Ljiljana$f1959-$01662978 701 $aFerrari$b Michel$f1959-$01105347 701 $aMihail$b Teodor$01662979 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910812894503321 996 $aTransfer boy$94019974 997 $aUNINA
