The Handbook of Autism



Autism is a variable and complex developmental disorder which frequently goes unrecognised, or else is misunderstood by both parents and professionals. This new edition of The Handbook of Autism dispels many of the myths associated with this puzzling condition and brings up to date the relevant and practical information of the first edition.

The authors have worked with children with autism for twenty-five years and are convinced that parents have a right to know as much as possible about the condition. By clarifying the essential issues concerning the recognition of autism, their book permits parents and professionals to reach a better mutual understanding. It enables readers to understand autism in a wider perspective, both its history and current research into possible causes; it also looks at the latest thinking on diagnosis, management and education, and on medical aspects. The authors describe their developmental approach to the assessment of autism in individual children and explore areas of special difficulty, such as social understanding and communication. The case studies used to reflect the extent and variability of the condition have been updated and a revised appendix of useful addresses is included.

Essential reading for parents of autistic children, The Handbook of Autism will also be immensely helpful to all professionals, in training and in practice, involved in their education and welfare.
