Since the first edition was published in 2003, an enormous amount
of research into Asperger Syndrome (AS) and autism spectrum
disorders has been conducted. New genetic and epigenetic theories,
updated findings on viable therapies, and targeted skill-building
programs provide a solid foundation of information for
professionals to use in practice and impart to concerned families.
The Second Edition of Asperger Syndrome synthesizes the current
state of the field, beginning with the controversy over the
proposed linking of the condition with autism in the DSM-5. This
comprehensive guide gives readers a deeper understanding of the
disorder, detailing the effective strategies and therapies
available to improve the lives of young people with AS and ensure
their successful transition from childhood to adolescence to
adulthood. Focusing on core deficit and treatment areas, expert
contributors analyze the evidence base on behavioral and
pharmacological interventions as well as educational strategies
geared toward bolstering cognitive and social skills. In addition
to epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis, and assessment, this volume
offers the most current information on: Counseling and other
therapeutic strategies for children with AS and their families.
Early intervention for children and youth with AS. Social skills
instruction for children with AS. Evaluating evidence-based
instruction for children with AS. Comprehensive education-based
mental health services for students diagnosed on the autism
spectrum. Practical advice for families, from a parent of a child
with AS. The Second Edition of Asperger Syndrome is an essential
reference for researchers, clinicians, and scientist-practitioners
in clinical child, school, and developmental psychology; child and
adolescent psychiatry; education; rehabilitation medicine/therapy;
social work; and pediatrics.
