Product Description

Review
submerged in the histories and observations of children who develop atypically are at risk of losing the wider developmental perspective, which this book provides for us very eloquently.

Product Description
The aim of this book is to obtain a close look at the condition that afflicts over 350,000 Americans, autism. The text seeks to make sense of the many features of autism at every level of intellectual functioning across the life span. Research findings, methodological considerations, and historical accounts are explored, and the reader is conducted through the course of development from infancy to adulthood, outlining the differences between normal and autistic individuals at each stage. The authors suggest that deficits in social understanding emerge in the early infancy of autistic children, and they explore how these deficits organize the development of autistic individuals through the course of their lives. Also examined are the effects certain characteristics can have on an autistic person's adjustment over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome! Very indepth -- an excellent source of information., 15 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This book give a very thurough, indepth description of autism. It is relatively unbiased, and very accurate in both science and life. The development perspective give an excellent over view of autistic development and the nature of this very development disorder. It give information relavent to all levels of functioning and all stages of life, and does a great job a present autism specific characteristic, as well as comorbid features of mental retardation and ADD. It is especially good in dealing with higher-fuctioning autism -- something often ignored in favor of more negative views. I would strongly recommend this book as a new-comers first source of information about autism.
