内容説明
Autism is a variable and complex developmental disorder which is frequently not recognised or else is misunderstood by both parents and professionals. The Handbook of Autism dispels many of the myths associated with this puzzling condition and provides readers with practical, up-to-date information. Maureen Aarons and Tessa Gittens have worked with autistic children for over twenty years, and are convinced that parents have a right to know as much as possible about autism. 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. Case studies are used to illustrate the variability of autism, and an appendix of useful addresses is included.

内容説明
Autism is a variable and complex developmental disorder which is frequently not recognized, or else misunderstood by both parents and professionals. Based on their extensive experience with parents of young autistic children both before and after diagnosis, Maureen Aarons and Tessa Gittens provide a practical handbook which aims to dispel the myths associated with this puzzling condition and provides parents and professionals with relevant, up-to-date information. The book enables the reader to understand autism in a wide perspective, in relation to its history and within the context of current research into its possible causes. The authors describe their developmental approach to the assessment of the disorder in individual children and explore areas of particular difficulty such as social understanding and communication. Case studies are used to illustrate the variability of autism and an appendix of useful addresses is included.
