Increasing numbers of adults are realising that they have been living
with an undiagnosed developmental condition, yet most information and
support focuses on children. This leaves many adults confused and in the
dark.
The Adolescent and Adult Neuro-Diversity Handbook is a handy
first-reference point guide to the full range of developmental
conditions as they affect adolescents and adults. Each chapter focuses
on a different condition, describing its history, causes and
characteristics, its implications for the individual, diagnosis and
assessment, treatments and approaches, and strategies for providing
support and self-support. A wide range of conditions are covered,
including Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, OCD,
Tourette's and Anxiety Disorders.
The Adolescent and Adult Neuro-Diversity Handbook is an invaluable
resource for health and social care practitioners, as well as for
individuals who feel that they may be living with an undiagnosed
developmental condition.
