This updated edition of the Handbook of Autism explores and expands on the practical and jargon free information of the best-selling first edition. The authors dispel many of the myths surrounding this puzzling and complex disorder. They provide practical information that makes sense, covering both medical and educational issues.
Revised research and new case-studies, including follow-ups to the case-studies featured in the first edition reflect the developments made over the last eight years both in the understanding and management of autism. A list of contacts and services at the back of the book underlines its practical approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A realistic and positive guide to the autistic spectrum,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Handbook of Autism: A Guide for Parents and Professionals (Paperback)
This practical and informative handbook is honest, even painfully so - pointing out, for example, that the most important factor in the development of a child with autism is the degree of learning difficulties they have, and that no parent or teacher can do anything to alter this. But it is also positive - in particular, the updated case histories in this revised edition give an impressive picture of how much progress is possible even for children with substantial disabilities.The authors, both of whom have many years hands-on experience with children with autism, give a solid account of the autistic spectrum and a good guide to various educational resources and methods, while taking a tough-minded and pragmatic attitude to many media-hyped "miracle cures". Their dry (and sometimes witty) attitude does not obscure their clear fondness and evident care for the children with they write about.
