Youths with ASDs exhibit several communication issues and delays. Some gain language skills; others display disabilities that hinder basic library skills. Librarians should try to know youth with ASDs on a personal level so they can provide more appropriate services, and be sensitive to the developmental stages of these children. Contents: Introduction: Developmental characteristics of youth with ASDs -- Youth with ASDs in libraries and other educational settings -- Team management approach -- Inclusion and universal design in libraries -- Resources -- Teaching youth with ASDs -- Focus on reading -- The social role of the library -- Behavior management -- Training -- Measuring impact through action research -- The perspective of a public library.
