Summary:

Autism and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders gathers and organizes the most recent information in this important and rapidly expanding field into a clinically useful volume that will enable clinicians, patients, and families to understand these disorders and make sound treatment decisions in light of recent research. The editors, as well as most of the chapter authors, are faculty or former trainees at the prestigious Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (MIND) Institute at UC-Davis, a collaborative international research center committed to the awareness, understanding, prevention, care, and cure of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, fragile X, ADHD, learning disorders, and more.

Each chapter covers presenting signs and symptoms; epidemiology and etiology; diagnostic approaches; evidence-based interventions; and reviews of promising research. In addition, the authors include information on support and resources for patients, families, and communities. Focusing on the range of neurodevelopmental disorders commonly seen and managed by both primary and subspecialist health care professionals, Autism and Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders explains cuttingedge research and advances in clinical care and assembles them into a single, indispensable volume.
