Full Description
Autism is a puzzling disorder. It begins in early childhood and disrupts many aspects of development, leaving the child unable to form social relationships in the usual ways or to communicate normally. In a non-technical way, this book explains what is known about the condition. In addition it provides helpful information about relevant organizations. Primarily aimed at parents and interested professionals, it presents fact-based summaries of the different aspects of autism and covers the recognition and diagnosis of autism, its biological and psychological causes, and the various treatments and educational techniques available for autism.
