Library

ASSN Victoria has a comprehensive library collection of over 200 items available for current members to borrow, free of charge.  Our collection includes the latest books, DVDs and journals covering the issues that face parents, partners, children, teens, young adults and adults living with Asperger Syndrome.  The collection also has numerous resources to help teachers, integration aides, support and health professionals working with individuals with AS.
