Autism is a variable and complex development disorder which frequently goes unrecognised, or else is misunderstood by both parents and professionals. This new edition of the Handbook of Autism brings up to date the relevant and practical information of the best selling first edition, with updated research and new case-studies to reflect the extent of the autistic continuum. It dispels many of the myths associated with this puzzling condition and provides readers with up-to-date information that makes sense. Practical in its approach, it will be essential reading for parents of autistic children and for all professionals involved in their education and welfare.
