Tom Whitman proposes a new developmental theory of autism that
focuses on the diversity of characteristics associated with this
disorder, and how these develop over time. This theory is
reconciled and integrated with contemporary theories of autism,
including the social, cognitive, linguistic, sensorimotor and
biological perspectives. The broader societal context in which
autism emerges is also explored along with its impact on the
family. Whitman draws from extensive clinical experience to examine
common education and biomedical interventions and presents
recommendations both for practical approaches to the everyday
challenges of autism, and for future research. This comprehensive
book is essential reading for parents, students, therapists,
researchers and policymakers eager to improve or update their
understanding of autism.
