Not a text, but I found House Rules by Jodi Picoult gave me a huge understanding and knowledge. Also my friend Trish, a member here, who has two boys with Asperger's has written some incredible posts. And here is Tony Attwood's site. No books I'm sorry, but Tony's site is sure to have great recs.

Anita,

I recommend books by Jed Baker. I have three or four of them. I especially love the picture social skills books.

I'd check out reviews on books about Asperger's on amazon. I have lived around autism all my life so I have not read any general books recently and I am not up to date on the best introductory books.

For specific work in pragmatic skills, check out Super Duper Inc. and Linguisystems.

Hoping the new diagnosis helps you and him!

In Christ,
