Title: Loners: Schizoid or Autistic?
Review: Austism, schizoid personality traits, what do they have in common? Are they one in the same, with those who exhibit schizoid personalty traits simply being high functioning individuals with autism? Or are they discrete diagnostic entities, not simply the same condition but only at different ends of the "autistic spectrum"? Sula Wolff provides a rich discussion of people who by many are labelled "asocial," providing anecdotal accounts with children seen in her own practice, as well as a wealth of information from formal studies. This book should be in the library of anyone who has an interest in children who do not seem to fit into society and by those who are interested in the subject of individuals with high functioning autism.
