ABC of Autism provides clinicians and medical students with a
succinct, evidence-based overview of the symptoms, evaluation,
treatment, and management of autism in both daily practice and for
ongoing patient support plans. This accessible and informative guide
allows primary healthcare professionals to quickly reference the
essential information required for appropriate patient care.
Compact yet comprehensive, this book offers concise and focused chapters
covering topics ranging from basic epidemiology and key diagnostic
features to managing behavioural difficulties and co-morbidities, such
as ADHD and dyspraxia. Full-colour illustrations reinforce understanding
of the condition while actual case studies demonstrate contemporary
practices and real-life scenarios.
ABC of Autism is a valuable resource for GPs, paediatricians, speech
therapists, educational psychologists, medical and nursing students, and
practitioners responsible for coordinating multidisciplinary care for
patients with autism.
