The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has evolved
greatly since Asperger's day. And as our clinical understanding of
this spectrum of disorders has grown, so has recognition of the
connections between anxiety disorders and ASD a welcome
development, but also a source of confusion for many in the
field.
The "Handbook of Autism and Anxiety" brings together leading
experts to explain this comorbidity, the diagnostic similarities
and differences between the two disorders and the extent to which
treatment for each can be coordinated for optimum results. Focusing
on repetitive behaviors, social difficulties and fears as core
components of anxiety disorders as well as ASD, contributors
discuss specific symptoms in depth to aid in diagnosis. Assessment
and treatment issues relevant to the autism-anxiety connection are
considered in clinical and school contexts. And an especially
timely conclusion details how key changes in the "DSM-5 "affect the
diagnosis and conceptualization of each disorder.
Key topics addressed in the "Handbook "include: Phenotypic
variability in ASD: clinical considerations.Etiologic factors and
transdiagnostic processes.Social worries and difficulties: autism
and/or social anxiety disorder?Implementing group CBT interventions
for youth with ASD and anxiety in clinical practice.Autism and
anxiety in school settings."DSM"-"5" and autism spectrum
disorder.
The "Handbook of Autism and Anxiety" is an essential resource
for researchers, clinicians/professionals and graduate students in
child and school psychology, psychiatry, social work, education,
clinical counseling and behavioral therapy."
