Autism: An Integrated View from Neurocognitive, Clinical, and Intervention Research

“The book provides a highly captivating discussion of the varied set of approaches taken toward understanding persons with ASDs. The product is an engaging and highly readable effort that broadens and directs thinking about a complex developmental disorder and its manifestations.” (PsycCRITIQUES, March 2009)

“Some essays do an outstanding job of reviewing past work, sharing current research, and suggesting new directions.” (Choice)

"Autism is one of the most heterogeneous conditions there is, and this is matched by a proliferation of theories that try to explain it. Can ideas about the brain derived form neuroscience and ideas about treatments derived from best practice ever speak to each other? This book proves that they can. It not only provides state of the art reviews by the leading proponents of a whole range of theories, but also tries to integrate the new knowledge. The result is an exhilarating journey through all that is best in current thinking about autism."
