Student Today / Joshua Muggleton

A student with Asperger's syndrome has written a book to help parents who have children with the disorder.
Joshua Muggleton, 22, a student at University of St Andrews, wrote Raising Martians to help parents understand the minds of their children.
The book is being sold in the UK and the US.
Mr Muggleton said the book title came from the idea that "raising a child with Asperger's can feel like raising an alien".
The fourth-year psychology student said: "People with Asperger's have a lot to contribute to society but there is very little education out there for parents and teachers. Education is something of a silver bullet when it comes to helping young people with the condition and without it, deep-set problems can develop at school age.
