Description
Summary:The text offers many important strengths, but as referenced in the title, the picture of ASD is complex, and this text does not seem intended for individuals who are novice to ASD. [...]a sound foundation in ASD is suggested for the reader in order to comprehend the complexities discussed by the authors. [...]the book contains some redundancies, specifically in reference to the changes in diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR to DSM-5 and gold standard diagnostic methods (e.g., the ADOS). [...]the organization of the chapters could be improved upon to create a more cohesive understanding of the complexities that are seen within ASD, as well as make the text reader friendly to a wider audience.
