The accelerating advancement in research in neurodevelopmental
disorders -- including autism spectrum disorders,
attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, and
more -- has enormous implications for clinical practice. Autism and
Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides clinicians with
up-to-date information on the impact these advances have on the
standard of care in the range of disorders commonly encountered by
both primary and subspecialist physicians. The authors, affiliated
with the UC-Davis MIND Institute, explain the latest findings from
the biological, behavioral, and clinical sciences in ways that are
accessible to clinicians and helpful to patients and their
families.
Specific features include: - A uniform chapter structure that
makes it easy for the reader to locate material and make
comparisons between and among disorders. Each chapter addresses
signs and symptoms (including onset and developmental course);
epidemiology and etiology (including known genetic and
environmental contributors, biological mechanisms and relevant
animal models); diagnostic criteria; differential diagnosis and
comorbidities; and evidence-based interventions.- The inclusion,
where possible, of current draft DSM-5 diagnoses, as well as
DSM-IV.- Practical focus on psychological/behavioral and medical
issues, as well as other supports and resources for patients, their
families, and the community.- Emphasis on current, ongoing research
that holds promise for future clinical care.- Identification of new
research directions and needs. - A comprehensive chapter devoted to
the effects each of the neurodevelopmental disorders has on
language and social communication.
Replete with tables, illustrative figures, key points, and
suggestions for further reading, Autism and Other
Neurodevelopmental Disorders helps clinicians meet the challenge of
providing the most up-to-date and effective care for their
patients.
