Summary: I really would like to review this excellent book, but...
Comment: ...unfortunately, its cost is prohibitive for a mental health professional working with special needs children. I'm not sure who set the price, but whoever did it, must have not been in touch with realities of the mental health profession in the U.S. My earnest attempts to find the book in local (and not so local) libraries failed--it turns out none of the libraries in my state has the book (two months after it came out). And, well, the local library will not buy it ("too specialized and too expensive," according to the librarian); while the library of the nearest college "may consider" it, but only in six or more months, since they are currently out of funds for new purchases.
Sorry to disappoint you with my off-topic complaints. I've looked forward to reading Fitzgerald's book for several months now, after reading its brief pre-publication review and an interview with the author in one of the on-line British newspapers. And I would love to review it here, I really would, but... Well.

Summary: Must Reading for Educators and Parents of HFA/AS kids
Comment: Professor Fitzgerald's book is a wonderful, important book. For once, HFA/AS individuals can be recognized for their singular genius. The question remains, however, whether or not educators and educational institutions will invest in the appropriate education of kids with HFA/AS so that they may have the opportunity to realize their full potential. _Autism and Creativity_ provides support for justifying making the investment. Fail to do so, and we risk losing some of the greatest minds of our future.
