Rich with clinical insights, this volume reviews the state of the science of identifying and treating autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in very young children. Leading authorities examine critical research issues and present innovative approaches to assessing social, cognitive, adaptive, communication, and sensory-motor impairments in the first two years of life. Providing a comprehensive discussion of developmental, behavioral, and medical intervention models, the book also addresses ways to support families in coping with an early ASD diagnosis and becoming effective advocates for their children. A special chapter discusses popular but controversial treatments, including how to help families make informed decisions about their use. Book News Annotation: As the director of the Yale Child Study Center, Yale University School of
Medicine, states in prefatory remarks, the editors with the Center
provide a valuable integrated treatment of the scientific evidence
and clinical practice regarding autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
Following an overview of diagnostic conceptualizations of this
complex disorder and its clinical presentation, contributing authors
discuss developmental, cognitive, adaptive, and medical assessment in
comparison to typical early child development. Detailed case studies
provide context on developmental and behavioral models of
intervention for ASD; a table summarizes common controversial
treatments resorted to by desperate parents.
