Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder : A Clinical Handbook, Paperback / softback Book

Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder : A Clinical Handbook Paperback / softback

Edited by Nicholas W. (Assistant Professor in Community Medicine and Health Care, Assistant Professor Gelbar

Paperback / softback

Description

Adolescence is a challenging stage for all individuals, especially for those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Individuals with ASD face increased social isolation and engage in more challenging behaviors during adolescence.

They also experience increased mental health challenges including anxiety and depression, and they are among the least likely of any disability group to attend college, be competitively employed, or live independently.

At the same time, adolescents with ASD face a major shift in available services and support as they exit the K-12 educational system.

The need to present what is known about this group in order to inform clinicians, researchers, and educators cannot be understated. Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder synthesizes current science on adolescents and young adults with ASD in order to inform mental health practitioners and education professionals who work directly with these individuals.

While early childhood interventions for ASD have been extensively developed and tested, research on adolescents and young adults with ASD has lagged behind until recently.

This comprehensive handbook can be utilized to train students and professionals in applied mental health roles.

The handbook includes three sections: Part I reviews diagnosis and treatment of adolescents with ASD; Part II details how to support their educational needs; and Part III discusses special populations including college students and young women.

Chapters highlight recommendations for clinicians and include study questions and additional resources.
