Crossing the Bridge presents Asperger Syndrome through the eyes of Dr.
Liane Holliday Willey, an adult diagnosed with the disorder. Dr. Tony
Attwood, one of the leading experts in the field, interviews Liane as they
discuss her struggles and triumphs with Asperger Syndrome. Together,
Attwood and Willey make it clear that those diagnosed as "Aspies" are not
defective individuals but rather different thinkers who have many
wonderful traits to share with humanity. Highly recommended for those
interested in learning more about the characteristics of Asperger's
Syndrome, and the impact of Asperger's on coping with life and developing
relationships.
Liane Holliday Willey, EdD, specializes in the fields of
psycholinguistics
and learning style differences. Both she and her youngest daughter have
Asperger Syndrome. Liane is the author of Asperger Syndrome in the Family:
Redefining Normal and Pretending to be Normal: Living With Asperger's
Syndrome (forward by Tony Attwood).
Tony Attwood is a clinical psychologist who specializes in the field of
Asperger Syndrome. His vast knowledge and understanding of the disorder
come from working with the autistic population for over twenty-five years.
Dr. Attwood is the author of Asperger's Syndrome: A Guide for Parents and
Professionals.
