Comprehensive Guide to Autism Hardback
Edited by Vinood B. Patel, Victor R. Preedy, Colin R. Martin
Hardback
Description
Autism is a complex multifaceted disorder affecting neurodevelopment during the early years of life and, for many, throughout the life span.
Inherent features include difficulties or deficits in communication, social interaction, cognition, and interpersonal behavioral coordination, to name just a few.
Autism profoundly impacts the affected individual, the family, and, in many cases, the localized communities.
The increased prevalence of childhood autism has resulted in rapid developments in a wide range of disciplines in recent years.
Nevertheless, despite intensive research, the cause(s) remain unresolved and no single treatment strategy is employed.
To address these issues, Comprehensive Guide to Autism is an all-embracing reference that offers analyses and discussions of contemporary issues in the field of autism.
The work brings together scientific material from leading experts in the field relating to a wide range of important current topics, such as the early identification and treatment of children with autism, pertinent social and behavioral studies, recent developments in genetics and immunology, the influence of diet, models of autism, and future treatment prospects.
Comprehensive Guide to Autism contains essential readings for behavioral science researchers, psychologists, physicians, social workers, parents, and caregivers.
