The research on children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is
extensive and growing. Although these conditions are recognized as
affecting the entire lifespan, the literature on ASD after
childhood is limited and has not been brought together in a single
volume in over a decade. Adolescents and Adults with Autism
Spectrum Disorders fills this knowledge gap by focusing on needs
and difficulties unique to these stages of development. Expert
contributors offer cogent reviews of complex issues, from education
to employment, leisure activities to illegal behaviors, mental
health issues to medical health concerns. The latest findings in
key areas, such as psychosocial and residential treatments, social
skills programs, epidemiology, the impact of ASD on families, are
examined in detail. Throughout the volume, coverage focuses on
areas requiring improved models of assessment, updated data, new
interventions and increased support services. Featured topics
include: Transition from high school to adulthood for adolescents
and young adults with ASD. Innovative programming to support
college students with ASD. Romantic relationships, sexuality and
ASD. Treatment of mental health comorbidities. Assessment and
treatment planning in adults with ASD. The range of outcomes and
challenges in middle and later life. Adolescents and Adults with
Autism Spectrum Disorders is a must-have reference for a wide range
of clinicians and practitioners - as well as researchers and
graduate students - in clinical child, school and developmental
psychology; child and adolescent psychiatry; social work;
rehabilitation medicine/therapy; education and general
practice/family medicine. It will also serve as an important
resource for parents and caregivers with its focus on translating
the current state of knowledge relevant to understanding
adolescents and adults with ASD into practical and relevant
recommendations on how best to support them.
