Description
More than 40 years after the official recognition of infantile autism in DSM-III, advances continue to be made in our understanding of the possible causes, assessment and evaluation, and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). With contributions by dozens of experts in the field, this second edition of the Textbook of Autism Spectrum Disorders has been updated to reflect the latest research in ASD.
Unrivaled in its thoroughness, this volume discusses issues of assessment and evaluation; examines the etiology of ASD and its recognized associations with other medical conditions; analyzes standard and experimental treatments; and delves into social policy issues pertinent to individuals with ASD and those who treat them.
With summary points in each chapter and copious lists of recommended readings, this is an indispensable resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists, social workers, speech therapists, educators, and all others in the continuum of care.

Reviews / Votes
The text goes beyond a just-the-facts listing of researchfindings to consider public health and ethical considerations of assessment,
treatment, and even conceptualization of ASD. The depth of coverage provided
to comorbidities and syndromic causes and the emerging role of the research
being led by individuals with ASD was excellent. The authors address each
major chapter with statements supported by ample current research, presented
in a detail-rich but digestible overview of design and findings. This
textbook is unlike any other I have seen, and makes fascinating reading for
the ASD professional, regardless of years of experience.
In summary,
the strengths of this textbook include its breadth and depth of coverage,
and the massive number of research studies presented to support the body of
the chapters.
This text is very comprehensive, yet written in a
reader-friendly format that would support most professionals or
preprofessional students. I would recommend it for all
practitioners-in-training or practices that support individuals with
ASD. -- Teresa Daly. PhD * Journal of Psychiatric Practice *
