This book examines the diagnostic overlap and frequent confusion
between the newly named DSM-5 diagnostic categories of
neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), which include autism spectrum
disorder (ASD), and trauma and stressor related disorders (TSRDs).
These conditions are similar in that a) children with developmental
disorders are particularly vulnerable to traumatic events and b)
all have pervasive effects on the brain and development. Chapters
provide a wealth of effective clinical, family, and school-based
interventions, developed from established studies and important new
findings. In addition, chapters use illustrative case studies to
survey assessment challenges in today's healthcare climate and
consider alternative routes for improving correct diagnoses,
identifying appropriate interventions, and referring proper
targeted, evidence-based treatment and services. The book concludes
with the editors' recommendations for needs-based service access,
including a more widespread use and acceptance of the Research
Domain Criteria (RDoC) and the International Classification of
Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) framework. Topics
featured in this book include: The neurobiological contributors to
posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fetal alcohol spectrum
disorders (FASDs) and its diagnosis in children with a history of
trauma. Interventions for trauma and stressor-related disorders in
preschool-aged children. Reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and
autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis and care in a cultural
context. Special population consideration in ASD identification and
treatment. Challenges associated with the transition to adulthood.
Trauma and neurodevelopmental disorders from a public health
perspective. Trauma, Autism, and Neurodevelopmental Disorders is a
must-have resource for researchers, clinicians and related
professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology,
child and adolescent psychiatry, public health, social work,
pediatrics, and special education.
