From ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) to ZS (Zellweger Syndrome),
there seems to be an alphabet disorder for almost every behavior,
from those caused by serious, rare genetic diseases to more common
learning disabilities that hinder children's academic and social
progress. Alphabet Kids have disorders that are often concurrent,
interconnected or mistaken for one another: for example, the
frequent combination of ASD, OCD, SID and ADHD. If a doctor only
diagnoses one condition, he or she may have missed others. As the
rates of these disorders dramatically rise, Alphabet Kids explains
it all. Robbie Woliver covers 70 childhood disorders, providing
information on causes, cures, treatments and prognoses. Chapters
include a comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, and the
disorders are illustrated with the often heartbreaking, but always
inspirational, true-life stories of a child with the particular
disorder. This comprehensive, easy-to-read go-to guide will help
parents to sort through all the interconnected childhood
developmental, neurobiological and psychological disorders and
serve as a roadmap to help start the families' journey for correct
diagnoses, effective treatment and better understanding of their
Alphabet Kids.
