Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Paperback Book

Autistic Spectrum Disorders Paperback

Paperback

Description

Autistic spectrum disorders including autism, pervasive developmental disorders not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), Asperger's syndrome, and others are labels to describe neurological conditions that can affect a person's speech and communication, emotional growth, social skills, and physical and mental abilities.

Up to 1 in 150 children in some geographical areas have these conditions; children affected are disproportionately boys.

This volume is for parents (or newly diagnosed adults) who struggle with these neurological conditions that profoundly impact the life of child and family.

Topics covered include: getting a diagnosis, including preparing for a diagnostic interview in a medical, psychiatric, or school setting; treatment options, including pharmaceutical medications, vitamins and supplements, sensory integration, occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech therapy, behaviour modification, floor time play therapy, talk therapy, and others; coping with diagnosis and treatment, including emotions and support systems, insurance system, and educational plans; and stories from dozens of families living with autistic spectrum disorders.
