Description
Summary:The first chapter includes a review of autism spectrum symptoms (including difficulties with verbal and nonverbal communication, problems with social behaviors, sensory sensitivity, etc.), and conditions that may be co-occurring (such as depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder). [...]it took the National Autism Center's "expert panel"-comprised of leaders in the fields of psychology, speech-language pathology, medicine, behavior analysis, and positive behavior supports -several years to review thousands of research abstracts and evaluate hundreds of studies before they were able to determine which treatments had sufficient evidence to support their effectiveness, and which did not. [...]parents understand better than anyone how an ASD diagnosis, and the impact of all the challenges listed here, can have a profound effect on their family.
