This professional text covers every aspect of Autistic Spectrum
Disorders (ASD), from science to services, from the most disabling
Kanner's syndrome to the most high-functioning Asperger syndrome,
and from birth to old age. The book contains the latest research on
the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, intervention and support of
individuals with ASD, and examines their implications at various
stages of life. A wide range of neurological, genetic,
psychological, developmental, social, and emotional issues are
covered, and the author also includes less accessible information
on the diagnosis and treatment of associated psychiatric and
medical conditions, the overlap between the ASDs and attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder, and the management of behavioural
and forensic problems. The author does not presume existing
technical knowledge and the background to new methods of
assessment, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging,
standardized clinical and psychological assessment, and genetic
testing, is explained. This book will be an indispensable primary
resource for paediatricians, psychiatrists, clinical and
educational psychologists, specialist nurses, counsellors,
psychotherapists, legal professionals and others working with
individuals of all ages who are on the autism spectrum. It will
also be of interest to any carers and people with an ASD who want
to know about the up to date research into the causes and treatment
of the disorder.
