Samenvatting

For thousands of loving and concerned parents of autistic children, the suspicion that something may be wrong comes long before the clinical diagnosis of autism or PDD (Pervasive Development Disorder). When rounds of testing and consultations confirm parents' worst fears, their emotional turmoil is matched by an overriding practical concern: What do we do next?

This is by far the most complete and comprehensive book ever written for parents of autistic children, and for teachers, child specialists, and other professionals who care for them. It includes current thinking on causes, diagnosis, and treatment, using illustrative case studies throughout.
