  • Autism Spectrum Disorders From A to Z


ISBN: 9781932565072

This book goes step-by-step through the complex of symptoms, definitions, assessments and diagnoses of the variety of autism spectrum disorders. The authors focus on the role of the school system, parents, teachers, and medical professional, adult service providers and agencies in their analysis. The authors provide practical strategies to improve the assessment process and help the child or adult deal with the stress of the evaluations, which include everything from psychiatric or neurological audiology or visual processing. They cover the impact of the diagnosis on the individual with ASD, as well as the emotional issues and impacts on the family and other people who interact with the child/adult who's been diagnoses. Finally, they tackle the controversial issues of causes and "cures" for ASD.
