Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A complete study of autism, grounded in the most recent developmental research data and intervention trials, presenting a lucid picture of what it means to be autistic and what can be done to help children's capabilities. The four co-authors consider historical descriptions of the disorder, symptoms, causes, diagnostic systems, and new findings in brain development research. They also examine the most current methods used to communicate with autistic children, and strategies which enable them to communicate back utilizing music therapy, psychoanalysis, and education. Distributed by Taylor and Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
